A Brit, a Dutchman and a German walk into a studio...

Kaelaris will once more team up with Grubby for casting the Combined European Nationals. The duo already worked together for the Germany Nationals some weeks ago. This time they will be joined by HasuObs who will join them behind the microphones.

The event will be hosted by the lovely Soe who was also present at the Germany Nationals in early June. The four together will make sure that the studio audience and all the online viewers miss none of the action and have the best possible entertainment.

Tournament tree and first match

We already brought you the players and now we bring you even more: the tournament tree is online and the first match that will be on ESL TV is also set in stone.

We will start the event at 12:00 on Saturday with the exotic PandaTank from South Africa against the mysterious Belarusian Safa. And you can watch it live in the studio. All information below.
