ESL One Cologne talent announced
ESL has announced a deep talent pool for the $250,000 ESL One Cologne which is set to start in a little over a week.
The event, which will take place in the German city of Cologne on July 4-9, will feature a team of 12 people bringing the action live plus three observers handling the in-game cameras. There, teams from three regions will be fighting for $250,000, and will do so in a best-of-one swiss group stage followed by a single bracket best-of-three playoff starting in the quarterfinals.
Perhaps the biggest news of ESL's announcement is that Adam "friberg" Friberg will join the analysis desk to break down the play in Cologne with Janko "YNk" Paunović and Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill. Here is the full breakdown:
