We are proud to announce a new sponsor for the European part of the Electronic Sports League (ESL). With Intel, a longtime sponsor is enlarging its sponsoring. This extension shows Intel's commitment both to eSports in general and the European community of gamers in specific.

It's the time of the year, where we pack up the beach balls, swimming gear and volleyball nets, and wave goodbye to the Summer Fun! The sun may have gone, but now we get a chance to look over the last few months and dozens of Cups held for you guys!

The Extreme Masters tournament with 160,000 Euro prize money and Europe's best teams and players is one of the most exciting tournaments in the world. To preserve the skill of our participants, we will have absolutely high-end equipment on board for our events, starting Friday with the season opening Intel Friday Night Game in Hamburg.

Two weeks ago a new ESL Aequitas Update was released, which had been in the works for several months. With this update Aequitas is able to detect all the currently known hacks, especially those which call themself "Aequitas proofed". To get the most out of this update we collected the names of cheaters until today. But in the coming hours we will hand out all the necesarry penaltypoints, over 160 cheaters will be removed from the leagues.

One of the "trophies" cheaters like to collect is that of the statistics in their ESL playersheet. The number of won / lost matches and the number of points won aren't easy to reset. Until now! From now on all the stats from a conficted cheater will be deleted.
