Esports League of Champions

Posted by sxraz^ on the 3rd of April 2008 at 12:26 AM.

Yesterday a Swedish newspaper PUNKT SE published an article that confirmed many rumours. The article has outlined plans for a new league called Esports League of Champions (ELC). The idea has come from the creators of the WCG organisation and promises to be packed with excitement. The league will take place on a live platform in front of a live audience. Within a TV studio, which is estimated to cost over £ 400,000 each game will be broadcasted over the internet and the organisers are planning to pitch the idea to TV companies in a bid to secure Esports future with TV.

The article goes on to other details. Post match interviews, a fan zone and a large prize fund reaching £ 120,000 and £ 20,000 for the winners of the 1.6 tournament. Organisers have also confirmed they will supply flights for the 8 invite only teams such as:

dk mTw.PokerRoom
de mousesports
bra Made in Brazil
pol MeetYourMakers
fin Roccat
swe SK Gaming
swe fnatic
fr emuLate

The first season of the ELC is scheduled for spring this year and if it becomes a success then we could see further seasonal seasons taking place.

A shining light for 1.6 maybe ?

The weird à is because the character encoding on the website (probably the database) isnt set up properly.

Such a good line up.

1.6 IS allowed to be on TV, but there has to be other games on TV as well (A show just about Counter-Strike is NOT allowed)
