How does it work?

It's very simple, go to our Benelux Cup portal, (add it to your favorites) and read the news posted there. New cups will be announced through news posts with links to the sign-up and brackets. Sign-up for a Cup with your team and have fun playing!

You can expect a monthly King of The Hill cup, and at least 1 fun cup once a week. If we recieve lots of positive feedback from you, and we see a growth in activity, we will expand the cups to multiple a week!

Why play cups at ESL?

The ESL organisation has been a stable organization for many years, thanks to the voice and activity of its players. They tell us what they want, and we provide. Go to the forums and vote on polls. Let us know which cup you'd like to see hosted some day. There's always an opportunity to win awesome prizes, just like the King of the Hill cup, where you can participate for a game server and a cash prize!
