ESL Dubai 2015 teams group draw

Eight participants have been selected for group draws for the upcoming ESL Pro League Dubai 2015, $250,000 on the line.

Another large tournament is coming up in Dubai this year, hosted by ESL and ESEA. The standard $250,000 is up for grabs by 8 teams. We will see the same format as with previous ESL events for the qualifiers, whereby the eight participating teams are split into two groups of four and will compete in BO1, double elimination matches. The top two teams automatically advance to the single-elimination playoffs, in a BO3 format.
