Hey boys and girls, here it is! After a successfull Opening cup and an amazing Camescom qualifier tournament, ESL is launching its first ladder! With no surprises, this will be an Elite game mode ladder :

Message from ESL :

After the first Beta Cups, it's now time to start the first ladder! We have decided to do a Elite ladder at first, as that is the most competitive gamemode of ShootMania. When this ladder is a success, more ladders might follow!"

We can just welcome this great news by registering our teams and defy all the european top ones. We wish ESL good luck with this Ladder and hope this one will be supported by all the great players around. As some ladders aready came around, with some cash prizes like the shootmania.cup one, we hope that players will not be disinterested by this one, and that this ranking will be representative of the current Shootmania scene. There are already 23teams that registered and 5 games played, so w can consider this like a good start!
