Deadline for 1st Division eligibility on Monday!
Is your team hoping to get into the 1st Division, or aiming for glory in the ESL Pro Series? Then read this important news about the requirements for qualifying for the 1st Division next season!
In order to ensure that teams qualify fairly for the 1st Division by having proven themselves over a period of time and matches, the following requirements apply to teams that wish to qualify for the 1st Division.

Requirements

Your team must join the Amateur Series by Midnight Monday 5th April and remain until the qualification snapshot at the beginning of May

This is so that your team is in the Amateur Series for one full month of AutoChallenger matches, and other teams have a reasonable time to challenge you

Your team must play at least 8 matches, since the 1st March, excluding default wins and losses

This is to ensure that teams are motivated to find and play matches.

Sign up and play

"Your team must play at least 8 matches, since the 1st January, excluding default wins and losses" Does this mean defaults will no longer count as 16-0 and will be deleted from all teams results from now on? I think it should be like this anyway tbh, as teams can just progress up the ladder without playing a single game!

c0dec, no, default wins for no shows for the fixed, compulsory AutoChallenger matches only will still be 16-0 and count towards ELO points, because those matches are fixed, compulsory matches like in a League.

However, teams will need to make up for default wins/losses by playing *real* matches.

Unfortunately we have had to do this to push teams to play real matches as not enough teams have been doing it themselves.
