IEM Sydney 2023 talent announced, schedule revised

ESL took to X, announcing the talent for IEM Sydney 2023, the first major CS2 LAN event, set to commence next week. Bleh, has been announced as an Analyst alongside kassad and YNk. The event will also feature stunna and Freya as desk hosts with Conky as the stage host.

The event's schedule has also been revised keeping in mind the new MR12 format. Day 1's first match will have a delayed start, pushed by an hour and a half, making it comparatively more convenient for viewers around the world to watch the event.

Matches are scheduled an hour apart from one another, giving ample time for MR12s to potentially play out in their full lengths. The decision backs ESL's data collection from the first three CS2 online events.
