According to a release from Ubisoft, the European League officially has a return date: June 20.
Monday, June 20 is the official return date for the league. This stage will feature two "super weeks". The league will run from June 20 until Aug. 1. The official dates for each playday of the stage are:
Playday 1: Monday, June 20th
Playday 2: Monday, June 27th
Playday 3: Monday, July 4th
Playday 4: Monday, July 11th
Playday 5: Thursday, July 14th
Playday 6: Monday, July 18th
Playday 7: Thursday, July 21th
Playday 8: Monday, July 25th
Playday 9: Monday, August 1st
The official schedule for the teams for the stage is still unknown.
The European League features some of the world's most prestigious teams. G2 Esports, Rogue, BDS, Team Empire (PWNZ), Virtus.Pro (Outsiders), Wolves, MNM Gaming, Natus Vincere, Team Secret, and Heroic are all vying for the crown of Europe's best -- and a berth in the upcoming EU/MENA August Major.
The top four of the league at the end of the stage will go to the Major. Previously, Heroic, BDS, Wolves, and G2 were the representatives in the Charlotte Major. EUL teams underperformed at the Major, but there are caveats: it was G2 and Heroic's first LAN as a team, Wolves were breathing a sigh of relief after acquiring an organization, and BDS made a solid run.
