Today the second game out of a total of four games has been announced for the 4th Benelux ESL Pro Series Season, Besides the long time veteran Counter Strike 1.6, ESL Benelux has finally added the game Call of Duty 4 to its roster. This big announcement means that the Call of Duty 4 scene has reached the next level in the Benelux section of the Electronic Sports League. After the announcement of the ESL Amateur Series a few weeks ago, the best teams the Benelux has to offer will now also battle eachother in the ESL Pro Series for cash prizes. The teams will first fight eachother in a premiership and, in the end, the top 4 teams will compete in the finals for a cash prize.
Statement Camille "quakeriX" Versteeg, National Head ESL Benelux: "Call of Duty 4 has always been on our wishlist. Today, the community and the admin team made it possible to add it. Allthough the prize money has not been announced yet, I want to point out that WSquared Media(Benelux) does not have the same budget as Turtle-Entertainment. I hope the community can understand this and show me how great COD4 can be and become. If we are able to grow as a community, we can do the same thing to its prize money."
Statement Dennis "Sumera" Winkel, National Master Admin ESL Benelux: "This news is a great step in the right direction for the Call of Duty 4 scene. During the last month we have experienced a rapid growth in activity and competition amongst our Benelux leagues. We clearly noticed that the community is motivated and dedicated to make this happen and we have rewarded this by featuring Call of Duty 4 in our upcoming ESL Pro Series season. The task of the teams now is to keep up their motivation, activity and dedication within the Benelux Call of Duty 4 scene. This is to make sure that it does not come to a one time only appearance of Call of duty 4 in the EPS"
The only way to qualify for the ESL Pro Series is the ESL Amateur Series. There will be no last minute qualifier cups or last chances this season. The deadline and how many EAS teams will qualify for the playoffs will be announced soon.

<3 so much:D
but i dont want to play 24/7 with to 2 other czechs:(((
Now don't fuck it up, make sure the activity remains on a high level and keep the dropouts low and I guess you can welcome a future like we have in .de already, with numerous EPS seasons featuring CoD(4).
Good luck.
