Do you have a coffee mug you think Machine would like? Or a T-Shirt Stunna can wear on the desk?
Well, this season we are opening our mailbox for fans to send in items to the show to be unboxed on the broadcast.
Just don’t send Ice Cream to Jee – it will probably melt.
Please note:
Packages will be opened by a staff member prior to opening on broadcast to make sure it is broadcast friendly.
We will be opening packages throughout the event and anything we do not get to will be used for the future.
If you do not have a package but still would like to ask the broadcast a question, you can submit your inquiries to the EPL mailbag by emailing dhlmailbag@efg.gg.

During ESEA League Season 55, we are running a Next Best Caster initiative! We are looking for an upcoming great voice in Counter-Strike 2, and we want to give you the platform to shine. Here’s everything you need to know about getting involved.
This is our second collection with Alex “Machine” Richardson and it’s all about pushing the boundaries of effortless style. We’ve explored new textures and fits while staying true to our core belief: clothing that’s honest, versatile and distinctly yours.
For those who embrace every high and low with fearless passion. Who turn the impossible into reality. Who are not just watching – they are the heart of the action.
As one race ends, another begins. The $1,000,000 derby continues as top-tier teams will look to pick up the next title towards winning the ESL Grand Slam V and forever mark their names in the books of Counter-Strike history.
The ESL Pro Tour is our vision for esports. One open ecosystem connecting all of ESL and DreamHack’s competitions around the world. One world for leagues and tournaments. One path from rookie amateur to global icon. A place where everybody can be somebody.
No, unfortunately there will be no live audience this time round. Season 22 will take place privately in a studio from Stockholm Sweden.
Following the initial Team Selected Seeding in Stage 1 and Stage 2, teams will be assigned ELO-like ratings corresponding to their seed positions, with higher seeds receiving more points. Each Swiss round will then be seeded according to the teams’ current ratings, which will be dynamically updated after each match. Teams will be paired based on their updated ratings, with the restriction that no rematches will occur.
The objective of live ratings is to continuously adjust team rankings to more accurately reflect their current performance. For example, if the #16 seed defeated the #1 seed, this result suggests the #16 team is performing above expectations, and their rating will be adjusted accordingly.

The Next Best Caster initiative is a promotion for ESEA League Season 55 designed to discover and highlight up-and-coming casting talent within the CS2 community. It’s your chance to get noticed, gain experience, and win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cast at a world-class ESL Pro League event.
This initiative is open to all amateur casters and streamers in the community who are passionate about official Counter-Strike and looking for their big break.
No, participation in the Next Best Caster initiative is completely free. All you need is your passion, your setup, and your voice!
Getting involved is simple. There is a single, mandatory step to begin: fill out the official interest form here. Once you have submitted the form, you are officially in consideration.
Start casting! You should be actively streaming and casting ESEA League Season 55 matches throughout the regular season. This is how our team and the community will discover your talent. Be sure to promote your streams on social media and tag @ESEA so we can share your streams.
You should focus on casting matches from ESEA League Season 55. This includes any division, from Open to Advanced. Casting these specific matches allows you to have hundreds of matches and teams to choose from and makes it easier for us to find and evaluate your work.
Please make sure to stream on the channel that you linked in the form so that we can easily keep track of your work.
Throughout the season, ESEA League will be monitoring participating casters. We will actively promote and feature promising streams on our official social media channels, email, and FACEIT in-app notifications to help you gain visibility.
The selection process happens in two main stages:
The winner of the Next Best Caster title will receive an incredible prize package, including:
This means you will get to go behind the scenes at a major tournament and connect with established, professional casters and analysts. They will provide direct feedback on your casting, share their knowledge of the industry, and offer guidance to help you develop your craft.
The primary prize is for the single winner. However, all casters who make the final community vote shortlist will receive promotion and recognition from ESEA, which is a valuable way to grow your personal brand and audience.
