The first International Country Championship Season in Alliance of Valiant Arms is coming right toward us. In this tournament we will determine which Nation is the best in Europe and America. And today we will finally announce the final list of Nations and further rules regarding the tournament.

It has been a while since we last hosted a Escort tournament, so a new map has been added to the list. The new map, White Out, was also the map that has been used in the final of this tournament. And next to the new map, we also introduced a whole new ruleset. In this cup we allowed players to use much more of what this game has to offer. Things like UAV, armors, special weapons and gadgets, characters, etc. where allowed to be used.

The news about a big strike against cheats courtesy of Valve Anti Cheat spread quickly through the scene. Even though there is no official statement so far, the discussions alone combined with statements from cheat developers will have an impact on cheaters. No one really knows at this point which cheats are detected and which aren't. Players should rejoice, the free CS:GO weekend is off to a splendid start. Time to continue it with some nice ESL action in cups, VERSUS and A-Series.

This will be the 3rd Casual Cup of 2013. Another Escort test for all teams of multiple calibers. Hopefully we have another great turnout like our previous tournaments! Again, we will have some nice prizes given to us by Aeria Games. Remember, that like always TOP3 teams and players from April Demolition cups cannot join the casual cup! Also as we said before in our news, check out the new rules!

After a succesful Moss testing period we have gathered enough feedback about Moss. The recent update has fixed the issues, so we are now ready to make it mandatory! It's your chance to trace Bino Glitchers, wrong items and protest about it, to make the players pay for breaking the rules! We have also small tweaks in the rule set. Check out the rest of the news to find out the changes!

The Spring Cup was very interesting due to the fact that only three weapons – Ak47, Uzi and SV98 – were allowed, with only the default armor being allowed. The tournament had a good number of teams competing for the trophies, with some big teams like Reves and Crackheads leading the chase. How did the teams fare with "classical weapons"-style of play ?

Allthough we had less teams then our last monthly cup, the quality of the teams have been improved significantly! We have seen some old teams coming back together and some well known teams like the Israelian IeSF 2012 team joining the ESL tournament. Check the whole news to find out about the details of the tournament.

We would say thanks to all players and teams who join us, and support ESL AVA !
