Passion and S.K.I.L.L.

The ESL Major League replaces the two currently well-known and successful formats – the ESL Euro Series and the Allstars Cup. Alongside 3,000 euro prize money each season, the two best clans in the Major League will also rise up into the ESL Pro League. S.K.I.L.L. – Special Force 2 clans that want to try out their luck in eSports can get their money’s worth with the ESL Open League and the ESL Open Cup. Standing by the motto ‘Good Luck and Have Fun’, an easy entry into competition is the focus here. The ESL Open League serves as a springboard to the higher leagues.

The popular Go4S.K.I.L.L. Cup, an ESL Major Cup since December, will continue to run in 2015 as such. Every Sunday, clans will have the chance to win prize money of up to 200 euro.
