History[edit]


ESEA League began offering lessons to improve gaming skills in 2003 providing instruction in Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Warcraft III.[2] ESEA created the first professional fantasy e-sports league in 2004.[3] ESEA began its league history with Counter-Strike,[4] but later added Team Fortress 2 (TF2) a game which gained more popularity after its adaption to "Free-to-play" gaming.[5]


In October 2015 ESEA was acquired by Modern Times Group, which would later buy majority stakes in DreamHack and Electronic Sports League (ESL).[6]



Viewing[edit]


ESEA League games can be viewed by fans as live streams from internet broadcasting channels such as eXtv, Nova Spivack's Live Matrix, TeamFortress.tv, streams on Twitch and clips on YouTube.[7] The annual sponsored ESEA League LAN Finals are held in Dallas, Texas.[8][9][10]



Bitcoin mining incident[edit]


On May 1, 2013 a user reported that the ESEA's anti-cheat software was being used to mine bitcoins without the user's consent. This was confirmed by ESEA's co-founder Eric ‘lpkane’ Thunberg in two subsequent forum posts. As of the date of discovery, the claimed dollar value of bitcoins mined totaled $3,713.55.[11][12][13] As of November 2013, ESEA has agreed to a US $1 million settlement, though a separate class action lawsuit is still ongoing.[14]



Middle East region[edit]


In 2017, the company announced new server expansion in Dubai to serve CS:GO community in Middle East. in April 2018 ESEA announced Rank S division for players in that region[15], later in May ESEA announced the first CS:GO League for Middle East teams[16].
