The ESL Pro Tour combines multiple ESL tournaments from various game titles, including Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, and StarCraft® II into dedicated circuits that build toward grand championships each year. The overarching structure for both global and local competitions provides aspiring players from all levels a consistent and clear goal to reach for, a more compelling story to follow for existing Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, and StarCraft® II fans, and a more transparent structure for new esports fans.
No, there are also EPTs for Counter-Strike & StarCraft! However, each circuit operates independently.
