The lineup of casting talent for the Intel Extreme Masters stop in San Jose has been revealed.

Taking place on November 21-22 and with $100,000 on the line, IEM San Jose will see two days of action live from the SAP Center Arena, or "The Shark Tank," in San Jose, California.

The tournament will feature eight teams, seven of which are already known and the eighth being the highest placed team from the iBUYPOWER CS:GO Invitational which has not already been invited to San Jose.

Maniac will be a desk analyst in San Jose

ESL have now released the entire casting and talent lineup for the event, which sees the return of many recognisable faces from ESL's events as well as the RoonOnFire duo.

Easily the most high profile and newsworthy choice comes from bringing in Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez, formerly of Titan, as a desk analyst which will be a new role for the Swiss professional player.

The full lineup can be found below:

O.J. Borg - Stage host
 Alex "Machine" Richardson - Desk host
