ESL 2v2 League and Flexible-Time Cup

With the conclusion of the ESL Company of Heroes 2 2on2 Cup #1, the Electronic Sports League is rolling out new features to take the COH2 competitive community to even higher levels: an open 2on2 league and a new flexible time 2on2 tournament.



The Electronic Sports League is proud to launch ladders for 2on2 COH2 teams. The ESL ladders offer a more competitive environment than is available in standard automatch. Teams move up the ladder by challenging other teams to matches and winning Elo points. View the current standings here to see who is the team to beat. The ESL 2on2 ladder is available to all players, so read the rules and the original announcement on COH2 ESL and get yourself and your teammate signed up today.

Double-elimination and capped at 64 teams, the ESL Company of Heroes 2 2on2 Flexible Time Cup is open to all and begins Monday, March 10th. Sign ups are open, so get read the rules on the official announcement and get your team enrolled! There are no excuses for sitting this one out!



The tournament is scheduled to start on Monday 10th March 2014 at 00:00 CET. Where you will have until Sunday 16th March 2014 23:59 to play your round 1 match. All subsequent rounds will follow the same format.
