We are really happy to announce that ESL is finally ready to launch in Bulgaria. The first ESL Pro Series will unite 76 tournaments in Bulgaria, divided into different categories and giving certain points for the overall national ranking.

The United Kingdom has chosen to be part of the ESL family in order to make Electronic Sports UK even more professional. Here is the official statement from our new partner:

We hope that this partnership will be exactly what the UK competitive gaming scene needs to rival other electronic sport nations such as Germany and Sweden. Look out in the coming weeks for news on the UK Counter-Strike ESL Amateur Series (EAS) as well as other smaller competitions for games such as Warcraft 3.

The games are over and we have a new champion. Congratulations to 4Kings.Intel for winning the WC3L for the second time!

Make sure to visit our photo gallery to see pictures from the event.

The admin-team wants to thank the Electronic Sports League for making this whole event possible. Furthermore we want to thank all visitors that travelled to Cologne to view the games live and offline. Of course we also want to thank all you online-visitors that watched the games on ESL TV or Waaagh! TV.

We will have a short break during the next days and will bring you more Warcraft 3-action later this week when the qualification tournament for season 8 continues.

So finally we know who will be battling over what we've all been waiting for: The WC3L Season VII Championship. The team getting out on top today will receive eternal honor, if not love. So strap on your seatbelt, grab a bag of chips, a drink perhaps, and do nothing but enjoy seeing what we're bringing you today: Four Kings versus Team 64AMD

As if the cheating of the past few days wasn't enough, we just found out, that Boomtown Odense has cheated in the decisive 1vs1 last sunday vs Against All Authority. This match was supposed to be played between BTo.Maelk (also known as Jacob) and aAa-Intox, however after having a closer look at the match and doing further investigations, we found out, that it wasn't Maelk playing in this match, but his clanmate Reveal.
Confronting him with this, he admitted the case and gave us the following statement:

Yes I did fakenick. And no there is no way to justify it. The only thing I can say to my own defense is that: Friday night 40 minutes before game would start. There was no Lineup, no organizer no nothing. I panicked, but got a lineup ready and a game postponed. But later on I find out that Jacob was not able to play at Sunday 8pm and the total score was 2-2, so I had 2 options: fakenick Jacob with his permission, or forfeit from wc3l.
I hope that you can forgive my actions even though its pretty hard stuff. Anyways Gl in season 8 !

As we do not tolerate such actions, both Maelk (aka Jacob) and Reveal are banned from WC3L, along with their clan Boomtown Odense.

The second season of the European Nations Championship is now running its third week and we are now happy to announce the final playday of the 1st Groupstage for Counter-Strike.

Things are starting to heat up in the WC3L, so everyone has a lot to look forward too. After this weekend's Season VII Finals, we will begin the second round of our qualification tournament. Matches must be scheduled by 11:59PM CEST on May 25th, and will be played anytime between May 26th and June 1st, so be excited for the next round of quali action.

For those of you wanting to see how everything is shaping out, take a look at our Qualification Grid to check out past and present matches, and future possibilities.

And now on to the round 2 fights! The list of everything that will be taking place in our round 2 week can be found by clicking on more.

Ah, so we're finally at the last qualifying matchup. It's quite a nice one too, as we see Incredible Teamaction taking on a-Losers.MSI in what will be a very hotly contested match. Don't miss this final round one qualifying matchup to find out who will advance and complete the second round bracket!

***a-L.MSI caught cheating!
Unfortunately we encountered some discrepancies again today. The player a-L.MSI.Quee did not show up to his match at the scheduled time,which lead to a-L.MSI taking a wildcard to postpone his match for several hours.
A few minutes before the deadline, the player finaly showed up, but it appeared that the person using the account was not from California (USA) as stated by a-L.MSI, but another person playing from Germany.
As of now, we do not know the real identity of the person playing vs Hum4niC, but we do know for sure, that it was not Quee, but someone else using his account.
As the only possible consequence iT receives a freewin for the particular 1on1 and until further notice, the player Quee, as well as the clan a-Losers.MSI are banned from WC3L.
Confronting a-Losers.MSI's teamcaptain Mars with the given facts he was unable to explain the situation, though we are still hoping for their assistence in the following days in order to completely enlighten the circumstances.

***Update:
We've just been able to get in touch with the "real" Quee who brought some light into the dark. Here is what he has to say:

I was wrongfully accused of being the middle of the decision of another member playing in my place in the match vs. iT. I was never contacted by a-L.MSI.Mars, nor any of the other members of the clan until 7 hours after the issue resolved. I did not show up for the match because i was stuck at work, i promised the team i could break out of work a little bit early and arrive just in time for the match. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. I apologise to everyone who was involved in this fiasko and i hope there is no hard feelings.

Quee could prove that a-L.MSI's captain Mars lied to the WC3L for several hours and therefore it's obvious that Mars was aware of this matter and is responsible for the unfortunate happenings.
Due to this the player Quee is not banned any longer from the WC3L while the clan a-L.MSI remains banned along with their teamcaptain Mars.
We're looking forward to a statement from Mars to enlighten the missing parts of the puzzle.

Also going on tonight is the conclusion of the Against All Authority vs Boomtown Odense match. This should be equally exciting as the series is currently tied at 2:2!

During tonight's clanwar we encountered several discrepancies. After further investigations we found out that xPL)luxurymaster played his games against [pG]Boo and afterwards logged into Battle.net to play as xPL)EggMaN against [pG]Fire. After confronting him with our proofs luxurymaster admitted the deed. The WC3L does not and will not accept such a behaviour. Therefore the clan and the two players involved are banned from the WC3L.

Yesterday we saw the first matches of Playday #1, today it will continue. This weeks ESLTV Matchup is Austria vs Germany, last season Austria came out on top with a 16-14 win over the Germans.

Welcome to the WC3L Season VIII. Like every time, we got a lot of applications. Clans from all over the world want to participate in the Champions League of Warcraft III, but only 12 are allowed to, therefore a very hard Qualification is needed. It starts out with a game about all or nothing, the loser is out for this Season, while the winner has only moved a small step towards victory, and today, the German clan n!faculty.wc3 and the polish all-star team Pentagram will tangle in their round 1 match, while later tonight, we will see a Mexican and Brazilian team in The JuNgLe TeaM and EGO.Intel go at it for their match.
On short notice the elite Team and Check 6 also decided to play their games today.
