IEM Katowice 2024 broadcast talent excited for event
James Banks of the IEM Katowice 2024 broadcast talent team said: “Hell yeah, back to Katowice in the Hall of Heroes.
“My second ever Katowice, so excited to be back and be part of this legendary event again.”
Machine added: “Hallelujah! We starting the year with a highlight.”
Tech Girl said: “Hello hi hello. Pretty stoked to be heading to the Hall of Heroes next week. What a way to start the year. From Blast on to IEM Katowice. That Counter-Strike life! Pinch me!”
Hugo said: “I’m ecstatic about getting back on the mic. Been playing so much CS2 and can’t wait to finally cast it. Four months off was too long, I missed y’all.”
Steel said: “In 2013 I had to take a break from esports and found myself working full time in IT. One day, ESL hit me up and asked me if I wanted to be the first dedicated observer at a CSGO major. I said yes. That event was Kaotwice 2014. I put in my two weeks and came back to esports full time. 10 years later and I’m back in Katowice, this time on the desk!”
Maniac commented: “Honored to step into the light for IEM Katowice, one of the most prestigious rendez-vous of our year. Working alongside this plethora of talented people. FeelsGoodMan. See you in Katowice.”
