Germany, France, Italy, Greece and Austria/Switzerland currently have a running ESL Pro Series that dominates the eSports happening in these countries. Now Spain joins these pioneering countries with its own ESL Pro Series.

Good evening and welcome to the eleventh ESL WC3L Series qualifcation tournament! Round 1 is about to start and the qualification grid is now available. We seeded the descending teams on the first spots and the five best applicants randomly behind. The rest is randomly chosen. The tourney will be double elimination, except round one. So the teams that lose in the first round will not get the chance to play again.

For the first time in history an Intel Friday Night Game will take place in Scandinavia. On December 8th, Stockholm has the honour to welcome the most exciting eSports tour in the world: Extreme Masters Intel Friday Night Game in Stockholm with plenty of entertainment opportunities, live TV broadcast, a raffle with nice prizes and thrilling WC3 and CS matches for on-site spectators.

You may think this match is unnecessary since SK.ger and Go both requalified yesterday for Season XI by beating hoorai, but they are tied with the same amount of points, and we still need to know who will get to remove the maps first next season. And would it be only for pride, there will surely be a fierce battle today as well for our last online match of the season. GIGA 2 account raffle inside.

The regular season is over, but what most other teams are really looking forward to is the qualification tournament for the next season. That is why we are starting the application period for the eleventh season of the WC3L today. This period will last until Sunday, November 5, 23:59 CEST.

Please click on more... to find out which demands your applications will have to meet.

The Intel Friday Night Game in Hamburg set new standards for European events with its innovative one day - one match approach, the unique spectator experience and the flat-out congenial stage show. Almost 1,000 spectators cheered for the all-star CS teams of mousesports and Ninjas in Pyjamas. Now you can watch the entire show as it was broadcast via GIGA.

Team One has officaly disbanded and will therefore not play the Playdowns. We have decided to change the Playoffs accordingly.
The remaining 3 teams, SK-Gaming Germany, Clan Go and hoorai, will play a mini tournament. The two top teams will stay in the WC3L while the team that finishes last will have to go through the qualification.
