The Esports Championship Series qualifying teams have been announced for the Season 1 finals, with multiple rounds of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive finally determining who will make their way to the SSE Arena in Wembley, London.
The event, which will take place between June 24-26, 2016, will be supported and hosted by Twitch, with its matches being streamed on competitive gaming platform FACEIT‘s official Twitch channel.
The teams who have made their way to the finals are as follows:
European teams:

Ninjas in Pyjamas
North American teams:

The ECS boasts $3.5 million in prize money, the largest prize pool to have ever made its way to the UK. In order to get your hands on tickets to the event you must visit the ECS site, with ticket prices starting at £12.99. You can also book an MVP ticket which includes better seating and a scarf (?!) for £50, while a £275 ticket will grant you access to a special seating area, VIP access to the stadium, a luxury food and drink area along with special ECS clothing. We’re not sure whether the aforementioned scarf is included in this bundle, though.
