After today's patch from Riot, the LoL servers went down. Currently, servers are still down and according to Riot, they are working on it. Riot has tried to support us with Tournament Realm access, however...
Tournament Realm clients from Riot for LoL did not crash (matches are still going), but the spectator feature of the TR client is not working (bug in the spectator feature), which caused the caster client to crash. Therefore, the current matches being played are not properly streamed. Hope this clears things up. We'll keep you guys updated.

+ Show Spoiler [League of Legends] +

The MOBA scene has recently exploded within the esports world, and the game leading the pack is Riot's League of Legends. Known for its fast paced gameplay and teamwork oriented battles, League is sure to be a crowd favorite. Sporting eight of the world’s best teams, the GESL is guaranteed to have some amazing matches. Arranged into groups for pool play and then seeded into a single elimination bracket, teams will have to be on the top of their game throughout the event to take the top spot. In addition to the teams, there will also be casters on-site to capture every play and decision for the audience.

Spectators who are lucky enough to make it in person will have the chance to mingle with the pros, get autographs, and take pictures. Those of you viewing the stream will be pleased to know we have thought of you as well. Games will be casted in crystal clear HD, all for free. All you need to do is relax, grab a drink and some snacks, and enjoy the matches from the comfort of your home. Whether you're a veteran player or just getting into the game, we're sure to have something you'll like.
+ Show Spoiler [StarCraft 2 Invite] +

There really is no need to introduce a game like StarCraft 2. The rightful heir to the RTS empire is here, no esports event is complete without it. We've managed to grab 24 of the best players in the scene and are putting their skills to the test. GESL will feature a hybrid format with group play leading to a single elimination bracket that ensures each game is intense and meaningful.

There is also a little twist for the players; they won't know which group they're in till the day of. That’s right, for the first time, outside of the GSL, there will be live group drawings on stage.

Aside from great games you can also expect plenty of time with the pros for meet-and-greet, pictures, and signings; bringing you closer to the player is our goal. There will also be great casters throughout the event to make your viewing experience that much better as well as some very awesome personalities from the StarCraft community. If by chance you can't make it live don't fret, the event will be broadcast in HD 100% free so you can enjoy the matches no matter where you are. We would also like to announce that there will be in game player cams for each competitor, in addition to the caster stream. We're brining you the fix for all your StarCraft needs.

Really only experienced him in sc2. Enjoyed him, but there was always better. Its the same thing with him in LoL. He is easily tolerable, but have others I enjoy more.

Absolute Legends.NA steps back, GESL takes a Dirtnap 


The GIGABYTE ESPORTS LAN is happy to announce that Dirtnap Gaming will fill the final spot in the 8 team, $10,000 invitational tournament taking place June 15-17th at Cal Poly Pomona in Southern California.

[image loading]


Dirtnap Gaming: Formed in November of 2011, this strong roster is comprised of a group of friends local to Southern California. Recently crowned victors of the MSI BattleGround Tournament, they are an up-and-coming team with a lot to prove.
  • PawnGypsy - Top
  • Flappy BearFish - AP
  • LovelyChris - Jungler
  • LoopyNess - Support
  • RagingKenny - AD


SmaCkexe, Dirtnap's Founder/Owner, said this about the event:
When I first read the email I shook with excitement. And now 12 hours later I am still excited beyond belief. I am ready to see what our team can do against the top tier teams. I have a tremendous amount of faith in our team. Its great to see all the hard work finally paying off with this wonderful opportunity. BE READY! WE COMIN!


Statement from Absolute Legends.NA regarding their withdrawl from GESL:
We thank the GESL for the opportunity and invitation to this wonderful event. We were looking forward to meeting the fans of Absolute Legends and the fans of League of Legends in general at GESL. Absolute Legends NA cannot attend due to travel restrictions of two members. We apologize for this. Look forward to seeing us at our next LAN event or next online tournament
