ESEA with $20k monthly MM league

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.

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.
