We are set up and ready to roll here in Kiev, as the IEM5 European Championship Finals are about to commence.

Hosted at the Kiev Cybersport Arena, the IEM5 European Championship Finals will hand out a staggering $50,000 in the Counter-Strike tournament, which will feature a total of 16 teams.

How's the Internet working at the venue? I tried writing Marc on Skype but he seems to be logging on and off all the time. I don't want to go down there prematurely if the internet doesnt work :x

2011-01-20 10:33

I'm looking forward to see the SK line up

2011-01-20 10:34

is it gonna start at 11:00 or at 12:00? the esl website says 12:00! and that the match between mouz and sk will start at 16:00 ??? esl-world.net/masters/season5/kiev/sched..

esl website has all the times in EET which is CET + 1 but yea, some games have different times nevertheless.. i would think that ESL website should have the correct ones

2011-01-20 10:36

They would broadcast SK V mouz match but for other matches there is HLTV , so u can watch them on HlTV instead of those matches that are broadcasted by esl. and The first match will start at 15:00 Your time which will be fx v mym.

Will there be a live blog with small updates about how the tournament is going / what Nomad is working on etc, like on previous tournaments? would be nice =)

2011-01-20 11:19

is there a live tv?

2011-01-20 10:42

What time zone does HLTV follow? I'm getting confused as to when the matches will start :(

Just set your timezone in your profile and all times on the site will transform to that..

2011-01-20 10:45

you can change the timezone from you're profile. To be precise fx's match starts in 15 minutes and sk's in 1hour 15 minutes. =)

2011-01-20 10:46

if the first game doesnt start in 14 minutes, means we gotta wait another hour. although i would personally prefer it ASAP, seeing my therapist at 2 and i wanna see at least two good games by then.
