(Wiki)ESL Open Cups

A new season of ESL Open Cups are set to begin! After an 'off-season' period where the weekly tournaments only awarded prize money, the Open Cups will start awarding EPT points once again on April 4th. These points will count toward the 2021/22 season of the ESL Pro Tour.

While the Europe and Americas Cups will continue to be held on Mondays, the Asia/Korean server cup has been moved to Sunday to avoid overlapping with GSL matches (which have had their schedules changed to Monday/Thursday).

Atleast thats what ive been reading in here


Blizzard and ESL have a contract for 3 years of EPT guaranteed. Blizzard are providing the prizemoney afaik. The game is still supported, people are just kicking off about not hearing about maps right now. Game is doing well

I think most people would say that support of this game includes balance patches. And Blizz said they won't do that. So a limited support? But yeah, I don't know where Kabasos got this stuff on this web xD
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

You have to be more specific as nobody said anything about Blizz cancelling their deal with ESL. People there are talking about no new maps and Blizz saying there won't be balance and content updates.

I hope this is why the new season date was pushed back a couple days. I am so sick of this map pool...
