Yes, there will be qualifiers, both open and closed (Miracle runs are encouraged!!). Direct invites to events and Closed Qualifiers will be dependent on EPT Points. If you’re keen on competing yourself, check out the respective event websites for the Open Qualifier information!
There will be a live audience for ESL One and Esports World Cup, but not for DreamLeague events.
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.
