About Baltic Esports League
GameOn, the Baltic Gaming Culture Convention and Challengermode, the automated tournament platform established Baltics Esports League (BEL) for three major esports disciplines – CS:GO, PUBG and League of Legends.
What sets BEL apart is not only openness to everyone in the region but also a clear path to higher leagues and tournaments across Europe. This is facilitated by the NEL structure created by Challengermode. Teams will be able to climb the divisions while the first division matches will be broadcasted weekly and conclude with the offline event finale organized by GameOn. BEL will be part of the European Regional League circuit which is the new way for regional teams to qualify to European Masters. Similarly, high-tier league options will be provided to CS:GO and PUBG teams soon.
