ELEAGUE returns to GO

ELEAGUE will once again set its sights on CS:GO this summer, announcing plans for the ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 starting July 21 at 2p, with content on both its Twitch channel as well as on B/R Live. In addition, live coverage will be available through ELEAGUE’s Game Command mosaic video player, which gives viewers access to thousands of different in-game viewing angles. A multi-part feature series revisiting the tournament’s best moments will be presented starting August 24, on TBS. The $1 million purse will see the top eight teams for the title compete, including Astralis, FaZe Clan, Natus Vincere, mousesports, FNATIC, Liquid, Cloud9 and SK Gaming. Teams will be split into two groups of four teams each, and will play best-of-three matches in a double elimination bracket. The top two performing teams from both groups will advance to the single elimination Playoffs, held Saturday and Sunday, July 28-29.

Talent is set to include Jason “Moses” O’Toole and Janko “YNk” Panuovic with Anders Blume returning as a commentator, joined by James Bardolph and Daniel “DDK” Kapadia. Alex “Machine” Richardson will make his ELEAGUE debut as host of the CS:GO Premier 2018, and Sue “Smix” Lee will provide the latest from the ELEAGUE Arena stage during the Playoffs.
