Electronic Sports League has been over crowding the United-Kingdom scene with tournaments and ladders (Night Cup and EAS Series). Electronic Sports League is now ready to kick start their latest venture called UK Counter-Strike 5on5 MR15 League which will kick into gear when enough applications have been accepted.
Information and Applications:
The Season will be divided into 3 Divisions, including Premiership, Division 1 and Division 2. With only 44 places up for grabs, 12 being filled by the Premiership and 16 in each of Division 1 and 2. To take part in Season 1, we recommend that you get your team fully registered, and visit the signup page to apply! Teams will be chosen as soon as possible, so it would be best to send your application in early! Remember, if your team doesn’t meet the requirements below you may miss your chance to participate.
In order to participate, each team must comply with the following rules:
Must have at least 5 members with registered SteamIDs
An up-to-date homepage including contact information for the team
A 100x100 pixel logo added to the team account
Acceptance of the rules
An adequate team description
Rules and Settings:
The Season will last 12 weeks in the Premiership and 16 weeks in Divisions 1 and 2. With one round being played per week and the final week will be to catch up on missed or re-scheduled matches. Each round will be played on a different map, giving teams an opportunity to show their strengths in different situations and surroundings. Each Division will have a specific match day, giving viewers a chance to select and view the match of their choice.
Below is a brief set of server settings:
mp_c4timer "35"
mp_freezetime "5"
mp_roundtime "1.50"
mp_timelimit "0"

The
Premiership of our League will be made up of 12 teams from, what we consider, to be the best of the United Kingdom. Four of these places will be allocated to teams which have participated consistently throughout the ESL competitions as of late.
At the end of the 12 weeks that the teams will be competing in the Premiership, the top 4 teams will compete at the ESL Lan Finals where a double elimination tournament will be held.
Teams competing in the Premiership MUST have a Team Premium Account. Details of Premium Accounts can be viewed here. Please click below to order your premium account today.
