Previously ESL has announced Pro League featuring sixteen teams playing for $50.000 prize pool. The tournament will consist of two parts: online group stage with eight teams advancing to the offline part of the event.
Participants were to be determined half by invites and half by online qualifications: and last week ESL announced seven invited teams which include most of the top tier squads with rare exceptions such as absence of fnatic who announced taking a break.
Recently it was revealed that the right to invite worthy challenger is dedicated to the community via a vote on the official ESL site. The candidates are London Conspiracy, Planetkey Dynamics, 3DMax and myXMG.
You can cast your vote here. The voting ends on 18th November.
