$400,000 prize pool for StarCraft® II at Intel® Extreme Masters Katowice 2019 confirmed

Mission accomplished! The $400,000 prize pool for IEM Katowice 2019 is now fully funded thanks to the SC2 community and the success of the War Chest: Katowice 2019 Complete Bundle.

By purchasing the War Chest, players were able to unlock more than 70 new items while playing Versus and Co-op matches or watching eligible Twitch streams. A sizeable 25% of the cost was used to add a further $150,000 to the already secure $250,000 IEM Katowice 2019 SC2 prize pool.

Total: $400,000*

1st: $150,000
