Today we're excited to share that we've entered into a new partnership with Kick, bringing every minute of ESL Pro Tour (EPT) action across Counter-Strike 2 & Dota 2 to one of the fastest-growing livestreaming platforms around.
IEM RIO
Starting Monday, April 13, you can watch Intel® Extreme Masters Rio on kick.com/eslcs, as 16 of the world’s best CS2 teams battle it out for $1,000,000. IEM Rio will also serve as a decisive moment in the race for the ESL Grand Slam VI and an additional $1,000,000, with Team Vitality being one victory away from becoming the first team in history to win two ESL Grand Slam titles consecutively.
Future IEM & EPT events will also be broadcast in English on kick.com/eslcs, with other distribution platforms still available.
ESL Challenger League - Exclusive to Kick
We're also making Kick the exclusive home of the ESL Challenger League.
ECL is where rising teams prove they belong, and challengers are given the chance to become champions & secure an invite to the upcoming season of ESL Pro League. For anyone who enjoys watching Counter-Strike played by teams with something to prove, kick.com/eslcs is where you’ll find every match moving forward.
