The ESL Pro Series so far

In the last 18 months we have hosted four of the highest quality eSports events in the United Kingdom to date and awarded £60,000 in prize money.

In January 2009 we held our Season 1 ESL Pro Series Finals in the UK, at the Congress Centre in London. Four Kings and Team Dignitas won £5,000 in Counter-Strike: Source and Call of Duty 4 respectively. Relive the Season 1 finals in the gallery and VoDs.

In April and June we held our first Intel Friday Night Games in the UK at Ten Squad in London. There you came to meet and see your favourite players and teams live.

Then in July 2009 we returned to the Congress Centre for the Season 2 ESL Pro Series Finals. Relive the Season 2 finals in the gallery and VoDs.
