During this period, they could win a whole series of tournaments and unquestionably dominate the pro scene. To solidify their successes and reward such organizations with a worthy commemorative award, tournament operator ESL, together with its title partner Intel, devised the Intel Grand Slam competition.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62fae85 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"62fae85\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cee971 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1cee971\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is the Intel Grand Slam?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e401e01 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e401e01\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51f07a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51f07a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Intel Grand Slam is a trophy in the form of gold bars with a total value of $1,000,000. To become the holder of this title, a team needs to win 3 competitions under the ESL banner and one of the main tournaments of the Intel Extreme Masters series (IEM Katowice or IEM Cologne). Once a team wins any of the tournaments, they automatically enter the race for the million-dollar prize. After the first triumph at one of the events, players have 9 more attempts to secure the remaining 3 victories. It is important to note that the victories are attributed to the core of at least three players, not the organization under whose tag they became champions. For example, at IEM Dallas 2023, the team ENCE won, but now in the race for victory in the fifth season, the contenders are Falcons. Snappi, Maden, and SunPayus moved under a new tag but retained the opportunity to inscribe their names in history as the holders of this prestigious trophy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To fuel interest in the final matches, where the fate of the Intel Grand Slam will be decided, ESL has devised a special award. A sum of $100,000 will be awarded to the team that stops the contender in the decisive match and extends the current season. This condition applies throughout the season, but no team has yet been able to stop the champions on the verge of the coveted title.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-542e93f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"542e93f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6600e9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6600e9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which teams have already won the Intel Grand Slam?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c3fc06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c3fc06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Astralis 2018.

In the summer of 2019, they caught incredible momentum and easily defeated every opponent. Their game was not distinguished by strong tactical decisions. They just entered the server and defeated any opponent through strong shooting and confidence in their abilities. After such a rapid victory in IGS, the rules were changed, and a clarification was added that the next winners must win one of the two most prestigious tournaments of the IEM series (Katowice or Cologne). Interestingly, Team Liquid would have received their million dollars even under the updated rules.
