Three years after the last ones, the  ESL staff is proud to launch the 3rd edition of the ESL Dirt PremierShips! After two victories in a raw for  New World Team, who will win the most famous ESL Dirt tournament ? Here is a little preview of the favorites and the outsiders!

Way of the Tournament

Rules for this DPS are a bit different than the traditional ESL PremierShips rules. In fact, because of a lot of teams and individual tournaments since the begining of the year, only 16 teams registered for this third DPS season. Sadly, the admins had to take a decision and decided to create a "group-phase" before the leagues. The two first teams of each groups (4x4 teams) will go in the Premier League, the two lasts will go in the Second League. Rest of the rules are the same, 1v1 - 2v2 - 3v3 and 5v5, playoffs, and up/down of leagues for the next season. 3 maps will be used for every day of competition, for a total of 27 tracks.
