3 New Teams Join the ESL Pro League!

ESL, one of the biggest organizers of CS:GO esports, recently added BIG, Heroic and FURIA among the member teams of the ESL Pro League.

The three organizations have agreed to sign the Louvre Agreement, which gives them a permanent spot in the ESL Pro League. The organization said in a press release that the total bids from the three organizations were almost $20,000,000.

Thus, BIG, Heroic and FURIA joined the 12 other ESL partner teams.

The other 12 member teams are as follows;

  • NAVI
  • NIP
  • Vitality
  • G2
  • FaZe
  • Astralis
  • Liquid
  • ENCE
  • MOUZ
  • Complexity
  • Fnatic
  • Evil Geniuses

ESL Pro League Commissioner Alex Inglot said:

When we started this process back in March, we were inundated with expressions of interest from over 40 ventures in CS:GO, esports more generally and even those currently not operating in the space.

This marked an encouraging start and we have now come to the end of our journey; with the 13 existing Members overwhelmingly appreciating the rigour and objectivity of the process, as well as the calibre of the three teams that have been approved: BIG, Furia and Heroic.

These teams and their investors have recognised the value of what we are building with the ESL Pro League project.

The list of member teams of the ESL Pro League has been filled with the last 3 entries. The partnership goes into effect immediately for all teams except Heroic. The Heroic team, which is currently part of the ESIC investigation, has to wait until mid-2022.
