Hi all, I have recently been in contact with the ESL Play Community Managers in regards to Team Fortress 2 and ESL. You may remember last year a ESL representative approached the community about what TF2 would like to see in the future.
With 2019 around the corner ESL would like to see another expression of interest from the community, which would be great for the games future and could offer more opportunities.
For ESL to consider the game, they require at least 100 yes votes and 100 comments in the ESL topic. It is also recommended that you follow this template for commenting as they will need to collect some data on locations etc.

Hi all,
I would like to thank everyone who voted, this was a very quick process and showed that we had a lot of support for this. ESL loved how passionate the community is for the game!
Before we can move forward, I am going to cover somethings so the community understands how ESL Play and TF2 will work and to go over the structure.

ESL's structure is based on participation. The more participants we see, the more we can offer to Team Fortress 2.
As the image shows, we will start at the bottom with ESL Open Cups, and progress all the way up to ESL Pro Events! This may seem a bit overwhelming but with community support this is achievable.
For ESL to progress us up to those levels, we need to increase the support for ESL Play. The more participants we have in tournaments, the more we can do such as Leagues and begin to roll in higher prize pools. But the keyword here is community, and ESL will be trying there best to support us and communicate to us regularly.
ESL Play Admins are watching this thread and will answer questions if they desire. Thanks everyone who has helped TF2 in anyway, lets hope we can make something good out of this.
