Left 4 Dead 2

Infected to the left, infected to the right, infected everywhere...no matter where you go you see undead crawling and swarming around. This is the scenario where the sequel to Left4Dead plays. After eagerly waiting for soooo long, Valve has released Left4Dead2 this morning at 8 o´clock. Of course the ESL will be part of the action and start with 2 different ladders for Versus & Scavenge Mode within the next days.


Until then, you can check out the gather section and play some gather games to test Left4dead2. Gather? What the hell is that? If you are asking yourself these questions then keep on reading.

What is the ESL Gather System?

With the ESL Gather System you can find friends and like-minded people to play with. It is not focused on the competition but more on the fun and social part of gaming. It is a system with which you can find other players with whom you can play, not matter if you are have a team, no team or half a team. No matter if you are looking for a friendly match, a practice match, a 1on1 or a mixed team match.


We would like to point out, that the gather system is available for almost every game played in the ESL. If you have questions, then you can find some answers and suggestions in the Gather Forum. You also might want to check out the Gather FAQ.

Most Gather Competition

Every month, the players with the most Gathers in the selected European game sections will win. A minimum of 15 team Gathers (3on3+) is required to be eligible! For more information please read the MGC News!
