ESL America online

As presented already with the official announcement of the ESL Extreme Masters 3, Europe’s biggest and most important gaming league will cross the Atlantic and open its doors for the American and Canadian players. After entering the Asian eSport market with ESL Asia in early 2007, Turtle Entertainment and the ESL make another big step and offer now leagues in the three most important continents. At the beginning ESL America provides cups and ladders in three different games: Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft and Bomberman Online.

With ESL Europe, ESL America and ESL Asia the ESL has a perfect basis for its tournaments headed by the Intel Extreme Masters. The third edition of the global challenge for Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft will be one of the be the biggest eSport shows and competitions in history featuring a total prize purse of 750,000USD and ten major events in the USA, Asia and Europe.

Because the United States did not have an ESL Pro Series or similar competition yet, the representatives of North America for the EM Finals at CeBIT 2009 will be determined by different cups and tournaments. All qualification details for Europe and the USA can be found in the official ESL news post.

While the USA entered today the global network of the ESL, the next countries are already in sight. ESNation, the company behind myMYM or the ESL Pro Series in Denmark, will become the partner for Sweden and Norway and will host a Pro Series and all the structure behind it from 2009 on.
