ESL has released the full schedule for the offline finals of ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2. Starting on Thursday, the Pro League finals, taking place inside ESL's studio in Burbank, will pit the top four sides from the European and North American divisions against each other, with $250,000 on the line. The tournament will begin with a double-elimination group stage, with the top two sides from each group advancing to the semi-finals. All matches will be played in a best-of-three format with the exception of the final, which will be a best-of-five clash - a format that will certainly be to the community's liking. After unveiling the on-air crew for the tournament, which includes former Cloud9 ingame leader Sean "seang@res" Gares, earlier in the week, ESL has now released the full schedule for the competition, and it looks as follows:
All group matches will be best-of-three
