London to stage ECS S3 finals

5-4-2017 15:00

The offline finals of the third season of the Esports Championship Series (ECS) will be held at the SSE Arena, in London, the league's organisers have announced.

The prestigious indoor arena, previously known as Wembley Arena, already hosted the first edition of ECS, last summer, which saw G2 take the title after beating Luminosity Gaming in the final.

ECS returns to the SSE Arena, in London

Last week, HLTV.org revealed that the prize pool for ECS Season 3 would remain unchanged and that the league would culminate with an offline event from June 24-25, with eight teams in attendance.

Tickets for the ECS Season 3 finals are already on sale at wembley.csgoleague.com.

Meanwhile, ECS has announced that it has entered into a partnership with Esports Arena, a 15,000 square foot venue located in Santa Ana, California. The arena, which hosted the 2015 iBUYPOWER Cup, will stage next month a $20,000 competition called the Esports Arena Showdown Championship, for which Denial and Splyce are already confirmed.

Through this partnership, Esports Arena will stage live mid-season ECS events in the future. Quizzed by HLTV.org, an Esports Arena spokesperson stated that details about its first ECS tournament are being finalised and that an announcement is forthcoming.

Cool :D

Every country should be given the opportunity to witness pro CS and its a shame that some countries don't. I'm just happy to be seeing events in my area for the game I love.

Sorry man but i'm afraid I don't see one country better than the other. Like I said, every country because everyone deserves equal opportunity. Obviously not possible but it's nice to think of a world like that.

ur a fucking autist u know that man? pro cs events shouldnt be hosted in fucking kenya and it has nothing to do with "one country being better than the other" or whatever SJW bullshit u implied. it comes down to one country being better than a lot of others in terms of hosting pro cs events. half of kenya doesnt even have fresh water access, so why would they worry about video games...

I meant it in a sense that's it's kinda interesting to see your response man. We just have different opinions and that's cool. I have no issue with yours. But when it comes down to it, your the only one throwing out the insults :/

2017-04-07 10:40

either u really are baiting or ur just the worst SJW i have seen in weeks.

2017-04-07 10:42

I'm not trying to bait. Your winding yourself up and sorry man I don't have time for people who cant contribute nothing but insults. Was fun while it lasted.

HAHA London have no eSports in CSGO and you still host a tournament there well well Must be to sad, there aren't any pro UK team

2017-04-05 16:09

There's pro UK players though, like in teams such as LDLC and Complexity. The same concept could be applied to the Moscow major though. No large Russian teams yet they're hosting a major.
