  The recent Intel Extreme Masters Season VIII might not quite be as high-profile as DreamHack Winter but it was certainly no less exciting with teams from across the world fighting to win both the sizable prize pool and the acclaim that comes with victory. Of note is the the multi-disciplinary CJ Entus who enjoyed tremendous success during the event. Their League of Legends team came in second while their Starcraft II representatives placed first and fourth respectively. Relevant VODs can be found here.

  

StarCraft 2

And just like that, her0 became the man of the hour. Crowned "Sick Nerd Baller" of the competition, the Korean Protoss player mowed through his Terran opposition and straight into the reach of fellow Protoss player San. In spite of his earlier successes, her0 didn't have an easy time with his final enemy. San went up two maps before the CJ Entus heroically rescued his situation and came back with a splendid four to two.

League of Legends

The gods of eSports must have been smiling on CJ Entus. Even though they failed to wrestle the title from Chinese powerhouse Invictus Gaming, they still succeeded in placing second. iG, on the other hand, did enjoy quite as smooth a run. Many expected them to stumble under the might of the Taipei Snipers. But, iG triumphed against their odds and trounced their final opponents 2 to 0.
