Casters for IEM Gamescom revealed

ESL has revealed the talent lineup for the CS:GO tournament at IEM Gamescom.

Five teams from Europe and one from North America will pit their wits from August 5-8 at Intel Extreme Masters Gamescom, the first event of the current IEM season to feature Counter-Strike.

A total of $85,000 will be on offer in this tournament, which will use a last-man standing format in which every team is assigned four lives, which will be deducted one by one after a defeat. Match winners then get to choose which two teams will play next.
