ESEA 17 LAN Finals rescheduled

30-9-2014 19:09

ESEA has announced that it has rescheduled the upcoming LAN finals to avoid scheduling conflicts with other events.

The North American event was originally scheduled to take place from November 21 to 23rd, less than a week before DreamHack Winter, which is scheduled for November 27-30.

This was the biggest reason why Ninjas in Pyjamas quit the ESEA league half way through the season as the ESL One Cologne champions want to focus on the Swedish event, which could well turn out to be a $250,000 major.

It has now been announced that the ESEA Finals have been moved to December 5-7, in Dallas, after teams admitted they could skip the event if it was held pre-DreamHack Winter.

"We felt that moving the dates would not only relieve stress from the players, but also remove any barriers that would prevent them from attending as many events as possible," an ESEA statement read.

The full event schedule is as follows (though times may be subject to change):

Friday, December 5th:

00:00 - All-star Game

01:30 to 06:00 - Upper round 1

Saturday, December 6th:

17:00 to 00:30 - Playoffs up to the Lower Round Finals

Sunday, December 7th:

17:00 to 21:00 - Lower Round Finals and Final

cool I guess, was the DH Winter schedule released before ESEA confirmed their LAN dates?

2 years ago :P

2014-09-30 19:21

thought so, why are ESEA only changing dates now? Why even schedule it so close in the first place??

2014-09-30 19:24

thats a good question

2014-09-30 19:26

NiP mad ..

they had no chance to qualify anyway

nope, we told them we were rescheduling it before they dropped out.

Cause 'Muricans can't do basic math to see what time it will be for Europeans.

2014-09-30 22:06

Europeans do the same thing to us, esl one games started at 03:00 in the morning.

2014-09-30 23:47

Yes at an American lan they should start at 3am just to please some random pale nerds masterbating over skins xDDD

2014-09-30 20:12

They are doing AWFUL lately, it's honestly hard to say that atm. Their games lately... yikes :(

2014-10-01 00:56

Their record probably didn't have a big role in them dropping out, NiP aren't the team to give up that easily.
