UK to host ESL Pro League finals

29-1-2016 17:48

ESL has announced via Twitter that the offline finals of season three of its Pro League will take place in the United Kingdom.

The event will take place from May 12-15 at an undisclosed venue in London, which once again hosts an international competition after staging a DreamHack Open stop in 2015.

A total of $1.5 million will be up for grabs in the ESL Pro League in 2016, to be spread across two seasons. This is a significant increase from the $1 million on offer last year.

Twenty-four teams, hailing from Europe and North America, will be taking part in season three of the Pro League, kicking off on February 9.

More information about the Pro League finals will be released as we move further into the season. When announcing the prize pool for 2016, ESL revealed that it was in talks to secure television broadcasts for the tournament as it looks to compete with the $2.4 million ELEAGUE, which will kick off on May 24, one week after the Pro League season is over.

2016-01-29 17:49

probably cos they have managed to secure a really good venue here. Maybe even somewhere like the Millennium Arena, they have loads of different shit there.

2016-01-29 19:10

The o2 (millenium dome) would be amazing although i doubt it would sell it and probably not make much profit because the venue is so expensive

2016-01-30 12:42

A bad choice TBH. The DH London didn't sell out, neither did any of the Gfinity events. I doubt nobody would want to attend an ESL event either.
