The organising committee behind the ESWC have released more details of the event, set to take place this October.

The host city for this years ESWC event will once more be Paris and this time the event will be taking place during the hugely popular Paris Games Week, from October 20th-25th. Much fuss was created when the organiser announced that they would be implementing a $200 fee per person for teams and players looking to attend that don't have National qualifiers, with six of the worlds biggest organisations threatening to boycott.

The ESWC has yet to respond to the demands of those organisations and instead has listed exactly what the $200 will get you upon application for the event. They have also released the schedule for the event, with CS:S set to be the last game played - the finals taking place on Tuesday 25th.
