| eSports has a long history in the United States, backed by a huge audience of gamers. We believe that now is the perfect time for us to make our move into the US market. We will launch the full set of features and tournaments step by step over the next few months. Furthermore we will connect ESL America to our international tournament structure. Live events and video coverage are an essential part of our strategy and will not to be missed. |
For new users to the system, ESL has made two big panic-buttons to explain the system for the beginner, and the Aequitas anticheat that is used in the leagues and ladders. You can find both panic-buttons underneath.

Awesome news for the North American CS teams and hopefully this will spark interest for the former CS 1.6 pros to come back. Funny that I, an American, is the only one commenting :P
