ELEAGUE is one of the best organizations when it comes to esports entertainment. It is one of the most highly respected leagues that reaches millions of fans through their broadcasting. For a short amount of time (the show began in 2016), they were able to climb onto the top of the “media mountain” and maintain their level of quality and professionalism.

The Group stage is played as BO2 series, in a Round-Robin format (everybody plays everybody). Every team receives a point after winning a map.
The Playoffs are seeded based on the Group stage results:
All the playoffs matches are played as BO3. A semi-final win award the teams with 2 points. Winner of the playoffs goes to the final playoffs, while the runner up gets the chance to participate in the “Last chance qualifier”.
The final playoffs are played as BO3, single-elimination brackets. The participants are 6 teams who were on the top of their group, and 2 teams who got through the “Last chance”
One of its traits is that it is really demanding in terms of energy and dedication since it lasts over the entire year and it includes three different stages – regular season, the playoffs, and the finals.
ELEAGUE Season 1 took place from 24th of May – 30th of July in 2016, in Atlanta, USA.
The league was hosted in Eleague Arena and Cobbs Energy Performing Arts Centre, where 24 teams got the chance to fight for the title and an amazing prize pool of $1,400,000 USD.
