ELeague, shortened as EL, and stylized as ΞLEAGUE is an esports league and American television program that airs on TBS.

EL also featured side events, such as the Overwatch Open and the Rocket League Cup.

The Playoffs consisted of the six group winners—Team EnVyUs, Fnatic, Natus Vincere, Cloud9, Astralis, and Ninjas in Pyjamas—and the two teams out of the Last Chance Qualifier—mousesports and Virtus.pro.

[15] SK Gaming's Epitácio "TACO" de Melo alleged that his team was not notified of the ruling before it was publicly announced.

The season will feature open and closed qualifiers, double elimination group stages, and—like last season—a Playoffs.

The fourth season of ELeague returned to competitive play in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Initially, twelve teams were invited to the competition based on previous ELeague results.

However, Season 2 champion OpTic Gaming only kept one of its five players, as stanislaw moved to Team Liquid shortly after winning the Season 2 title, tarik and RUSH were transferred to Cloud9, and NAF was moved to the backup position and then later joined Renegades, leaving mixwell as the only remaining member of the squad.

Astralis kept its same lineup as it had when it won the ELeague Major 2017 while FaZe Clan brought in its new superteam and had not lost a map on LAN since losing to Gambit Esports at DreamHack Masters Malmö 2017.

In 2018, ELeague announced their first-ever reality TV series, ELEAGUE The Challenger: Street Fighter V. The series featured seven invited personalities from the fighting game scene as they lived together in one house and competed against each other for a single prize.

The people invited to appear as contestants in the show included LowTierGod, Gllty and RobTV.

In a close and intense three-game set, Astralis defeated Virtus.pro—12–16, 16–14, 16–14—to win its first-ever major title.

The group stage took place in Turner Studios, where all ELeague season matches were played, in Atlanta from January 19 to 22.

New Legends were G2 Esports, FaZe Clan, Natus Vincere, Quantum Bellator Fire, mousesports, and Cloud9.

The grand finals put the pressure on the tournament favorites FaZe Clan, which defeated mousesports and Natus Vincere, and the dark horse Cloud9, which upset G2 Esports and SK Gaming.

In what was being called one of the best series of all time in Global Offensive, Cloud9 upset FaZe Clan—14–16, 16–10, 22–19—to take home the Boston 2018 major.

In July 2016, ELeague announced the first Overwatch Open, starting in August 2016, with a total prize pool of $300,000.

[29][30] ELeague hosted the Injustice 2 World Championships that started on October 27, 2017, and will end on November 10, 2017.
