ESL came to decision to create a bit more casual cup, with some different rules. Every wednesday during August, ESL All Stars took place.

Hostage mode finally on ESL

Bomb

It all started on 2nd of August with “Bomb” cup. Standard ESL Pro league ruleset attracted 69 teams with many strong names. In the end, BLUEJAYS took the finals in a match against Upgrade Gaming. On their way to victory, they went through Potato esports, Cognate, Trokut and TEK9.

BLUEJAYS had strong opponents, but still managed to reach 1st place

Hostage

9th of August was the time for second cup and Hostage game mode which is not favoured among the players. In total, 51 team participated and Euro mix Cognate took the first place. They beat United Gaming in semi finals and snatched the first place from Speed Gaming Force (Russia).

Many german and russian teams ended up in TOP16, but Euro mix takes the 1st place

Secure

16th of August, 49 teams participated in Secure area game mode. This time, german team United Gaming takes the first place beating Covfefe gaming. On their way to victory, they passed Aquila, Fury and Buteo esports.

After reaching semi finals week before, United Gaming wins this cup

Tactical realism

4th cup was played on 23rd of August on tactical realism setting with night setup. This was by far the most difficult cup for the players because of limited HUD (Heads Up Display). Many teamkills took place in that tournament because of it. In the end, out of 46 teams, Hungarian Here To Win takes the first place.

Here To Win came up as a really good team during tactical realism
