A new invitational league is starting!
Starting April 4th, 19:00 CET, top foreign Starcraft teams will fight to find out who’s best. That's right! NASCL returns, reborn as ESI (E-Sports International) with a new set of tricks up our sleeve ;) The confirmed prize pool consists of a cool $600 in winnings, which is a gradual step up from the $100 claimed by champions Los Reyes Del Mambo last season.

Organizational Changes
Last season, you were able to check Match results, Player Statistics, and more thanks to our league management software. However, there were many problems, including a serious lack of replays... not anymore! All matches will be handled and reported on the ESI website in much the same way as iCCup clanwars, meaning that all replays will be released. You can check results, download replays and follow the progress of your favorite team at http://www.esportsi.net/

Live Streams and VOD coverage
The best matches of the week will be covered with VODs and commentary thanks to SC2GG and highlight matches will be streamed live.

King of the Hill & Showmatches
Most valuable admin draKoTz will return to organize last season's popular King of the Hill and Showmatch series, so stay tuned :)

Shoutouts & Trackback
Thanks to eSi.draKoTz as always and Sonde from SC2GG!
