We are less than 24 hours away from the beginning of IEM San Jose 2015, to be played at the SAP Center arena.
The Format
The tournament will be played in a best-of-three, single elimination bracket format.
The first matches to be played are as follows:
- G2.Kinguin vs. Counter Logic Gaming
- Cloud9 vs. Team SoloMid
- Natus Vincere vs. Luminosity Gaming

The Prize Pool
The tournament prize pool was originally placed at $100,000, but an extra $25,000 was added by the official retail sponsor, Amazon.com. With that being said, people still have the opportunity to up the prize pool through crowdfunding.
