\"ESL

Electronic Sports League (ESL) is the largest video game event company in the world, having been the first of its kind when it was founded in 2000.<\/p>\n

Based in Cologne, Germany, it hosts seven official Pro Leagues for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Gears of War, Guild Wars 2, Halo 5: Guardians, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, Mortal Kombat X, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.<\/p>\n

It’s also the largest eSports broadcaster on Twitch, an online streaming network for gamers.<\/p>\n

Its Australian arm, ESL Australia, may be small compared to its European, Asian and North American counterparts, but it sees plenty of potential in a market screaming out for the attention of the pro gaming circuit. <\/p>\n

Every year, the body runs a survey asking for fan input to help bring a major gaming event Down Under. There are a number of tournament legs held in Australia, but none are on the level of major events held in overseas markets. <\/p>\n

This year, they want Aussie opinions on what makes a great eSports “mega event”.<\/p>\n
