What is the Amateur Series?

The ESL Amateur Series is where the best of the up and coming UK & Irish players must prove themselves to qualify for the ESL Pro Series - the UK's only professional eSports league.

Players in the Amateur Series have 1 compulsory match every week (like a League) in addition to being able to play additional challenge matches (like a Ladder). The top teams in the Amateur Series are promoted to the ESL Pro Series.

How can I make it to the ESL Pro Series?

EAS - > ESL Pro Series

You must join the ESL Amateur Series. There you will get a compulsory match every Tuesday 8pm and can challenge other players to get more points faster.

The top players of the ESL Amateur Series at the end of the season (the next season finishes at the beginning of May) are directly promoted (1st-4th place) or play in Relegation (5-8th place).

Requirements for EPS eligibility

You must join the Amateur Series by Midnight Tuesday 1st June and remain until the qualification snapshot at the end of June.

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

You must play at least 15 matches, since the 1st March, excluding default wins and losses

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