ESL UK Premiership with £10,500+

8-3-2016 15:11

The third ESL UK Premiership is set to begin on March 14th, featuring a £10,500 prize pool.

The first ESL UK Premiership took place last year with XENEX going on to win the tournament and claiming the £2,500 prize for first place. The second season saw UESmash crowned after they beat Infused in a best-of-five final.

The battle will kick off with three open qualifiers, which will take place from March 14th to the 28th, as the teams will try to acquire the most points throughout all the tournaments. The four teams with the most points at the end will advance to ESL UK Premiership Promotions.

FejtZ won the ESL UK Premiership last season with UESmash

From this point on all matches will be streamed and starting on April 9th the qualified teams will meet the relegated teams from the previous season in the ESL UK Premiership Promotions.

The top four teams of the second season and four teams from the ESL UK Premiership Promotions will then battle it out in seven match weeks to secure a position at the LAN finals. The group stage will start on April 18th and will end on May 30th. During this stage, each team will have the chance to earn £179 per victory en route to the LAN finals, which will be announced at a later time.

The schedule for the ESL UK Premiership Season 3 can be found below:

March 14-28: Three qualifiers take place
April 9-10: ESL UK Premiership Promotions
April 18 - May 30: ESL UK Premiership Group Stage
TBA: ESL UK Premiership Playoffs

2. - £1,375
3. - £875
4. - £500

would be cool to have uk team which can compete, sad that a big country like uk is literally non-existent on top level. since germany faces similar problems maybe uk & germany should make a joint venture like the old mTw again? could be interesting to see.

Good I hope they put more money into more UK only events for UK only players to help give people the incentive to practice and try and make a some what half decent career outta it. the only way we are going to get a strong UK team to battle in the EU
