Last weekend, the LANXESS Arena in Cologne, Germany’s largest indoor
arena became home to the world’s biggest and most-watched
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event. With over 11,000 visitors
flocking to arena each day and millions more tuning in online, it was a
fitting way to celebrate ESL’s first standalone CS:GO event.
Over 27 million unique viewers watched the tournament on Twitch for
almost 34 million hours (nearly 3,879 years!) between them, and at its
peak the event was being followed on-line by over 1.3 million concurrent
viewers - an increase of more than 30% on the last ESL One
Counter-Strike event five months previously and a new record for both
ESL and the game itself.
ARAMwas responsible for set design and technical production, including rental of latest video , lighting technology and camera jib's.
Equipment list include CP Mythos, Sharpy, Fourlight LED lighting fixtures, 3mm led screens, 8mm curve screens, 6mm black face led screen and many other equipment.
ARAM was responsible for the design and technical production of largest gaming event in the world: ninth edition of the World Final of the Intel Extreme Masters .
For the second year in a row event was held in Katowice, this time was spread to
two locations - Spodek and the newly built International Convention
Centre. Event broke all records of audience and visitors. Soon we will know the official figures, but said more than 100 thousand of visitors and millions of unique visitors following the games online.

Our company has several years of successfully producing events "from design to effect" where we provide comprehensive solutions and technical site with full support in lighting, multimedia, design and sound.
Our work began many months before the show, says Michael Mrzygłocki, " we where responsible for the execution of the set design of projects for all 3 stages. " The project worked closely with both the client and the executors, among others, Jack Van Daniels.
The resulting total of three scenes, including an impressive main stage with total span of 60m, located in Katowice Spodek. Two
smaller scenes with a span of 12m and 16m respectively, and buildings
for over 20 exhibition stands, which stood at the International Congress
Center. Multitude of
places that served by ARAM and a huge amount of equipment that
arrived in 16 trucks meant that this year's Intel Extreme Masters is a big
logistical challenge but also a huge success!
At
the same stand was used in 1000 meters of trusses and countless number
of elements of different types and over 400 LED devices such as wash and strip and illumination. On the two smaller stages were used nearly 70 different types of lighting fixtures, and among them heads such as the Vari * Lite 3500S, Clay Paky sharpy, Fourlight FL-600.
The
design of the main stage in Katowice Spodek is based on a system of
Layher, which was illuminated by many kinds of moving and led lights. Lighting

Clay Paky sharpy Wash, Clay Paky Alpha Spot 800 ST QWO, Fourlight
