HLTV.org live from London

From June 23-25, the world's best CS:GO teams will be present in London, England, competing for a $660,000 prize pool at the LAN finals of the third season of ECS. The competition has returned to the United Kingdom, where the first season LAN finals were held, after the season two LAN finals was played in Anaheim, California.

The ECS Season 3 finals will kick off with a GSL-style group stage that will be played on the first two days of the competition, with the first day being reserved for upper-bracket BO1's and the second one for elimination and decider BO3's. The semi-finals and grand final match will take place on the last day of the tournament, Sunday.

The competition at the tournament will be fierce, with the world's four best ranked teams—SK, Astralis, FaZe and G2—all in attendance. With the fact that this will be Astralis's last tournament before the Major, there is an additional motive to follow this weekend's action in London.

Over the next three days, HLTV.org's Zvonimir "Professeur" Burazin and Radosław "⁠MAKKU⁠" Makuch will be bringing you content from the event such as photos and interviews.
