Yesterday the Opening Cup on ESL Sports kicked off with the first of three rounds. Robin 'Xanatos' Lagler and Niklas 'Sliver' Timmermann have been able to survive the first round with
a first place for Xanatos and a second place for Sliver in their grids.

The difference between ESL Sports and ESL Europe is that on ESL Sports the profi-Drivers are comepting on one server head to head up to 8 drivers. On ESL Europe the modus is normal 1on1 racing like it has been the case at the World Cyber Games and many other competitions.

Sliver and Xanatos are favourites to win the competitions, but they just also have to be careful on their oppenents from n!faculty or Team Alternate. Today the first round of the ESL Europe Opening Cup kicks off and we wish our two Need for Speed Racers all the best to reach the next round. You can follow the competitions on the official website of ESL Europe and ESL Sports.
