ESEA og FACEIT introduserer ny "Entry"-divisjon i Europa

Tournament organizer ESEA and gaming platform FACEIT have announced the introduction of a new competitive division in Europe, starting with Season 53. The newly created Entry division will serve as a bridge between the Open and Intermediate tiers, providing a more structured progression path for teams.

Who Qualifies for the Entry Division?

The Entry division will consist of teams from various sources, including:

• 2 teams from the top Open 1-8 rankings
• 4 teams from Open 9
• 128 teams from Open 10
• Teams that qualify through the Entry Division qualifiers
• Teams that registered for Open in Season 53, where the average rating of their top 5 players exceeds 2,500+ Elo
• Intermediate teams with fewer than 4 wins

This new structure aims to enhance the competitive landscape by ensuring a smoother transition between skill levels.

Expansion Plans

If the Entry division proves to be a success in Europe, ESEA and FACEIT plan to expand it to North America in future seasons.
