ESL Impact Season 5 invited teams revealed
Another exciting year for the all-women Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) teams and fans from around the world is about to begin. Announced at the end of last year, the ESL Impact 2024 Program, will feature two online league seasons, live Global Finals, and monthly Cash Cups on FACEIT. With the ESL Impact Season 5 ahead, we are thrilled to unveil more details of the upcoming tournament and elevate the competition to the highest.
ESL Impact was launched at the beginning of 2022 as one of the initiatives of ESL FACEIT Group’s (EFG) #GGFORALL. The program combines new and existing initiatives to tackle discrimination, promote mental well-being, and progress environmental sustainability in esports.
Commencing on March 6, 28 top all-women CS2 teams from EU, NA, and SA will battle it out to secure one of eight spots at this season’s Global Finals, a chance to win the lion’s share of the $150,000 prize pool and the coveted title. The ESL Impact Season 5 Global Finals will take place in front of a live audience at DreamHack Dallas on May 31 – June 2, 2024.
