The Countdown to the ESL Guild Wars 2 Pro League Season One Finals Has Begun!

by The Guild Wars 2 Team on 16th February, 2016

Seven weeks of the Pro League regular season are in the books, and the time has come for the top teams from North America and Europe to prove to the world that they have what it takes to claim the title of Season Champion. With $100,000 USD on the line, a new meta taking over, new team compositions and builds entering the fray, and new tournament rules in place, anything can happen.

Join us on the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel on Saturday, 20 February at 4:00 PM UTC (8:00 AM Pacific Time) for the epic conclusion of the inaugural season of the ESL Guild Wars 2 Pro League. You’ll also be able to catch the broadcast in Chinese, French, German, and Spanish.

If you’d like to attend the event in Leicester, England in person, you can still purchase tickets from Eventbrite.
