The Commissioner of the ESL Pro League, Alex Inglot, has announced today that the Louvre Agreement, the groundbreaking partnership between ESL Gaming and 14 of the top teams in CS:GO, has been unanimously extended until at least the end of 2025.
We’re excited to share with you all our plans for the future of the ESL Pro League (EPL) within the ESL Pro Tour (EPT).
The 2022 ESL Pro Tour will host over 25+ tournaments during the calendar year. We are announcing our entire 2022 plans, consistently back on LAN, the return of audiences across the globe and tickets are back on sale for IEM Katowice ‘22 & IEM Cologne ‘22.
In October 2020 we released an update to unify the ESL World Ranking during the online era of Counter Strike. This was aimed to reevaluate and make changes to the mechanics of how all competitions are classified and therefore how much they contribute to a team’s standing within the ESL WR.
This ranking update corrects an error that appeared with the introduction of the new “Covid-19 online” ranking.
Furia has withdrawn from IEM Beijing-Haidian due to the roster currently being located in Europe. The New England Whalers are the team to replace Furia in the ESL Pro Tour event after recently jumping up in the World Rankings after their solid performance in IEM New York.
Calendar TL;DR:
Update: ESL One Rio 2020 Major
October: IEM New York 2020 - Online
November: IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 - Online
December: IEM Global Challenge 2020
