A successful event ended
ESL has been active in India for quite a while in the Indian CS:GO scene. They have hosted many tournaments in the country featuring top teams in the region. With ESL Pro League Season 9 ending just days ago, ESL has already scheduled for another season this December 2019.
Another following up event
Right after the league, many relegation tournaments have been announced in many regions. India region will play as a part of the Southeast Asia relegation. 4 teams in India are in the list of attendants in the ESL India Premiership. They will fight against each other to compete for a spot in ESL Pro League Season 9 - Asia: Relegation.
Entity Gaming has already secured a slot in the relegation, 2 slots go to Southeast Asian Qualifier and 1 more slot would be decided by this very ESL India Premiership – Summer 2019.
The chance to go international
The 1st place winner of ESL India Premiership will compete with 3 teams in Southeast Asia relegation to get a ticket to ESL Pro League Season 10.
Here they will have a chance to play against the 3 teams from Season 9. They are Lucid Dream, ALPHA Red, and Boots to get a slot to the ESL Pro League Finals. The last time winner of ESL Pro League Season 9 – Asia was TyLoo. They played in the ESL Pro League Season 9 – Finals and lost to FaZe and Liquid, then finished with $14,000 in prize money.
It may be hard for the less developed CS:GO scenes to compete against the most established teams in the world like Liquid or FaZe. However, this is a good chance to the Indian CS:GO to compete internationally and get more experience.
