Announcing ESL Pro League for 2017!

Season 4 of the ESL Pro League concluded on October 30th in Brazil with Cloud9 emerging victorious and taking home the coveted trophy. This may be it for ESL Pro League in 2016 but we are already looking forward to the next two seasons taking place next year and we are happy to announce details about those.
