  • Warcraft3 TFT Map selection
    • Map selection is done before the match begins. Each participant removes three (3) maps from the map pool, leaving the three (3) maps that will be played. The map elimination is started by the player with the lower rank. The same system is used to decide which of the remaining 3 maps will be played first.
    Mappool: Lost Temple(RoC), Twisted Meadows, Echo Isles, Ancient Isles, Melting Valley, Turtle Rock, Gnoll Wood, Terenas Stand, Secret Valley

    Aequitas Anti-Cheat

    Aequitas, ESL's very own anti-cheat client is required by everyone in order to compete in our matches.

    Player changes, new players

    During the ESL Pro Series Season each team may add 3 new players to their account. The season officially starts with the player adding deadline. Everyone not added by then is regarded as a new player. Players which were part of another team participating in the ESL Pro Series in the same game are not allowed to play for another team in the Pro Series in that game for the rest of the season.
    All other players who are added to the team are barred from playing for one (1) match week. This means they have to sit out at least for one full match week from Monday 0:00 to Sunday 23:59.And the included matc of the week. Every new player has to be announced via a support ticket prior to being added so the tournament administration can check his eligibility. Violations of this rule may be punished with up to two (2) minor penalty points.

    If a team is unable to compete, e.g. due to a lack of eligible players, the team is excluded from the ESL Pro Series and its license expires. It is therefore advised to add substitute players in order to compensate possible departures of starting players.
    Between seasons, there is no limit on adding new players

    Playing with an inelegible player is penalized with 1 Major penalty point per player per match. If the match is won by the offending team, a rematch is forced.

    Exceptions for EPS.Sca season I is:
    - First (1) matchweek its free to add one (1) new player before sunday the 23. november 2008 23:59
    - During cristmas holidays, new players can be added. Date for this is TBA
