Janko "YNk" Paunović and Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović will be back on the desk for IEM Summer.
ESL has announced its talent roster for IEM Summer, the tournament boasting four top 5 squads in Gambit, HEROIC, G2 and Astralis, as well as other heavy hitters such as the most recent CIS and EU Regional Major Ranking tournament runners up, Virtus.pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas.
The on-air crew that will bring the tournament to life is filled with former Counter-Strikeplayers to unpack the action as it happens, featuring YNk, kassad, Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez and Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill.
The full roster also comprises regulars such as Frankie "Frankie" Ward, Alex "Machine" Richardson and Anders "Anders" Blume, as well as the longtime duo comprising Harry Russell and Hugo Byron.
The 16-team, $250,000 event, is right around the corner, kicking off on June 3 and bringing 11 days of play split into a double elimination group stage and a single elimination playoff bracket.
