Esports continues to gain traction with the masses, this time in the form a deal between ESL UK and CinEvents whereby the IEM Katowice CS:GO Finals will be shown live at 13 cinemas around the UK (you can get tickets here).

We'll be covering the event ourselves, but if you can't join us in Katowice then this is surely the next best thing, as this year's sixteen best Counter-Strike teams compete for a slice of the $500K prize pool (with the winners taking home a cool $250K) at the Spodek Arena in Poland. UK viewers will also get a behind the scenes look at the event as part of the show, with it taking place at the following cinemas on March 4.

Cinemas participating in the screenings are:

Birmingham Vue

Bolton Light Cinema

Bristol Longwell Vue

Edinburgh Ocean Vue

Leeds Light Vue

Leicester Vue

Manchester Lowery Vue

New Brighton Light Cinema

Sheffield Light Cinema

Shepherd's Bush Vue

Stockport Light Cinema

Swansea Vue
