ESL has announced via Twitter that the offline finals of season three of its Pro League will take place in the United Kingdom.
The event will take place from May 12-15 at an undisclosed venue in London, which once again hosts an international competition after staging a DreamHack Open stop in 2015.
A total of $1.5 million will be up for grabs in the ESL Pro League in 2016, to be spread across two seasons. This is a significant increase from the $1 million on offer last year.
