$80,000 for CS at IEM5 World C'ship

IEM5 World Championship will finish the fifth season with the event in Hannover, with a total prize purse of $145,000 - $80,000 will be handed out in Counter-Strike.

The IEM5 season finale is less than two weeks from now, where teams from around the world will battle to become the champions of the fifth season. Running from 2-6 March, the event will take place at the CeBIT expo in Hannover, just like the previous four seasons.

This season the total prize purse for the event is $145,000, divided in four games; Counter-Strike, StarCraft II, Quake Live and League of Legends (side event). $80,000 will be handed out in Counter-Strike, which is a reduction of $20,000 compared to the previous season. The biggest cut is the cheque to the champions of IEM5, who will be awarded a $35,000 cheque, which is $15,000 less compared to last year's cheque, which was a total of $50,000 going to the winners Natus Vincere.
