Twelve teams go head-to-head for a chance to win the $10,000 first prize.


GotFrag.com - Dubai is this years host for the third and final installment of ESL's Extreme Master's Season IV global challenges. The tournament consists of the twelve teams, two local Dubai qualifiers and the ten best teams from around the globe. Some of the worlds most top tier teams have been invited to play.

Famed names such as: fnatic, WeMadeFOX, Alternate, Vitriolic, Mousesports and SK are those included in the invites. SK comes hot off their win at Chengdu, defeating teams like TyLoo and EG on their way to finals, where they beat fellow Swedish rivals, fnatic in convincing fashion, 2-0.

The tournament will start off with group play, two groups consisting of six teams each. Each group will also house one of the local Dubai qualifiers, which will be interesting to see how their talent stacks up against the worlds best. The top two teams from each group will qualify to bracket stage, where they will compete in a single elimination bracket.

As always GotFrag will provide complete coverage of EM Dubai, with up to the minute scores, HLTV coverage and demos, to keep you updated with all the action as it comes.
