CoD4 League Autumn 2008

Summer is over, the sun has retreated behind the clouds and the leaves are turning brown. It's time to return to serious Call of Duty 4 fighting. Compete against teams from across Europe in the ESL's Call of Duty 4 League this Autumn!
The first season of the Call of Duty 4 League had mixed results as we experimented with a different kind of league structure to maximise the chances all teams had to prove themselves and qualify for the ESL Major Series.

This season will be a little different as it will not be a qualifier for the ESL Major Series, and also since last season there has been a clear split in the community regarding PAM and Promod. Therefore we will split the League into seperate PAM and Promod Leagues.
