How does the Louvre Circuit Draft Work
Only teams that have finished in the top 20 of the ESL World Ranking at time of draft are eligible. In 2024, with the number of available slots (12) exceeding the number of eligible Partner Teams (10), the top 2 Partner teams within the ESL World Ranking will receive an invitation to both events. If an invitation is declined, we will invite the next Louvre Partner Team in line.
