IEM Spring Betting 2025

The Intel Extreme Masters is one of a few tournaments that has run for over a decade now on the esports professional scene, with their first collaboration with ESL coming in 2006 when they organised an IEM for Counter-Strike 1.6 and Warcraft III.

The Intel Extreme Masters returned to Australia for the first time since 2023, when Sydney hosted IEM Fall. IEM Melbourne will be the first IEM event to be held in the city. Following the success of DreamHack Melbourne in recent years, ESL made the decision to bring the event to the “sporting capital of Australia”.
