ESEA with $20k monthly MM league

22-3-2016 00:37

ESEA have revised their previous matchmaking system and announced a new format, which will include a monthly $20,000 pug league for players competing in the ESL Pro League North American division and more.

Earlier today ESEA announced a new, revised format for their matchmaking system, which will follow a system not unlike the one of FACEIT, as players taking part will be distributed in four ranks according to their "elo", A through D, and will have a chance to work their way up.

An additional rank, rank S, meant mostly for professional players, will give out $20,000 each month across the top contenders based on their points at the end of the month.

ex-iBUYPOWER members have another competition to play in

Players of teams competing in the North American division of ESL Pro League, as well as Echo Fox, TSM, Tempo Storm and Valve-banned members of ex-iBUYPOWER, have been invited to participate in the competition.

Additionally, the league will not be completely exclusive, as every month the two highest-ranked players from outside of Rank S will earn a place there too, with their performance revised at the end of the following month to see whether they should be demoted or stay in the competition.

For the time being, the competition is only running in North America, but according to the release ESEA are looking to bring Rank S to Europe's Pro League players by early April.

Nice

FACEIT pays all FPL prices.

ronnie talks about him not getting paid for the #1 place in december alot, others too.

2016-03-22 10:15

well DaZeD actually won that one but they agreed to split the pot since they wanted to go to bed and because nobody would catch up to them.

well neither of them have gotten a penny from faceit.

2016-03-22 11:42

ah nvm..

2016-03-22 02:47

maybe for pro players but not for us who can buy skins for points

2016-03-22 16:03

esea pls stop

rip fpl

awesome ! :)

2016-03-22 00:41

time to cancel my FACEIT sub kappa

IBP UNBANNED????

2016-03-22 00:55

Finally had to chase FPL down after losing a ton of subs, I reckon.

2016-03-22 00:58

true, and they'll be right back in the mix with this one I reckon

2016-03-22 01:08

will be interesting to see if they put the highest ranked players on one team vs the rest like faceit does.

2016-03-22 01:03

why allow ex-ibp to play? Stop giving them opportunities to make money by competing...

They got over-punished, they should be allowed to play in settings like this

2016-03-22 01:10

Agree, but valve wanted to make an example out of them, no matter how good or famous your team is, throwing will not be tolerated. :)

2016-03-22 02:19

Yh its like what happened during the London riots years back, some kid who stole a bin got years in prison just to be made example of.

2016-03-22 04:23

No that was dumb

2016-03-22 13:15

boohoo, like a 2 year ban from all official tourneys wouldn't have been enough in the first place

no it isnt enough, just like in real sports, if u get caught cheating ur gone for life. These faggots cheated and stole from the community. Should be gone forever

2016-03-22 04:06

''just like in real sports, if u get caught cheating ur gone for life.'' lol nope

2016-03-22 04:18

It depends on the Sport, but most of them only ban you for a certain time, that said I don't want IBP to be unbanned cause throwing shouldn't be tolerated at all .

2016-03-22 15:45

someone like pete rose, the all time hits leader in the mlb was caught throwing for money and was kicked out of mlb and banned from the hall of fame

2016-03-23 04:33

Quote "It depends on the Sport" hard to comprehend, isn't it?

2016-03-26 22:19

r-r-retard.

2016-03-22 01:49

i don't think you realize how serious matchfixing is. do you understand that a huge reason why the NFL is the most profitable sport in existence (and has the most fans in the U.S.) is because of the gambling? it's a MASSIVE part of its popularity. they didn't "throw" - they fixed a match. it is quite different. they can say they didn't know about it or didn't profit from it, but that's a complete lie.

2016-03-22 04:11

Because ESEA is owned by a private company and there VALVE ban has no merit here. Probably why?

2016-03-26 11:03

I'm available, Global.

2016-03-22 01:09

Shame on letting ex-IBP play

its all about the stream exposure

2016-03-22 01:20

shame on you being a loser. They were over punished you dumb fuck.

2016-03-22 01:22

overpunished ? Valve should have revoke them the Right to ever play their Game again

2016-03-22 13:11

Dumb, riot games doesnt even do shit like that. Whenever theyve perma banned someone, a few years later they assess the player to see if hes changed and is good for the community.

2016-03-22 13:17

most lol players get banned for being toxic assholes. You remember why they got banned ??? I hope valve never gives them another Chance

2016-03-22 13:19

C9 jensen got banned for ddosing games, Apdo god got banned for elo boosting over 50accounts. They are just as bad.....but all got unbanned.

2016-03-22 13:23

No, matchfixing is worse, and valve doesn't And will never operate the way Riot does.

2016-03-23 07:39

THEY MATCH FIXED IN A GAME THEY ALREADY WON THE LEAGUE IN. WHEN THEY WERE NOT ON SALARY AND CLEAR CUT BEAT TEAM IN NA. THE WHOLE SCENE HAS CHANGED. USE YOUR BRAIN. VALVE ALSO SUPPORTS AND CONTINUES TO PROMOTE UNDERAGE GAMBLING.

2016-03-26 11:05

shame on valve for not baning fnx :) :)

2016-03-22 09:51

2016-03-22 01:13

2016-03-22 01:30

RIP FPL

2016-03-22 01:34

Will the pro players' (rank S) performance also be revised? So they can demote as well? Or is this a god league were only humble humans can try to join - and eventually demote from?

I doubt it, why kick the pro players? Dumbest shit ive ever heard.

2016-03-22 03:20

Awesome for NA

In few words, FPL copy. D - Bronze league C - Silver league B - Gold/Diamond league A - Master league S - Pro league

2016-03-22 03:48

Starcraft copy not faceit.

Pug league? Nice, shroud can win something

2016-03-22 04:15

Noone likes you dude

2016-03-22 12:49

DaZeD is loving this, gives his life meaning again. Thank you ESEA.

2016-03-22 05:16

Given that fpl sucks in murica thats a great news for na

2016-03-22 05:54

Someone at ESEA watched too much OPM

2016-03-22 07:17

[*] Faceit, wont miss you

2016-03-22 07:35

In NA ESEA will have a lot of succes since every pro-players prefers ESEA to faceit, but in EU I have my doubts.

2016-03-22 08:01

This wont work, whoever pays the players more to play their platform will be the most popular.

2016-03-22 13:21

Rip ex-ibp

2016-03-22 08:19

rip face-it

2016-03-22 09:21

its a trap. esea wanna catch private hacks :D

2016-03-22 09:37

Cool coool

2016-03-22 11:01

Why not have better prizes for the massive userbase instead of the minority of pros who dont even play esea unless you offer 20k prizes.

2016-03-22 15:33

Wow as soon as I unsub esea
