Cologne
ESL, originally known as Electronic Sports League, is a leading global esports organization founded in 2000 by Jens Hilgers in Cologne, Germany. As one of the oldest and largest esports companies, ESL organizes and hosts a wide array of gaming tournaments and events, including major international competitions such as ESL One, Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), and ESL Pro League. The company has played a pivotal role in the development and popularization of esports, providing a professional platform for competitive gaming across multiple titles such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and StarCraft II. In 2015, Modern Times Group (MTG) acquired a majority stake in ESL's parent company, Turtle Entertainment, further expanding its reach and influence in the esports industry.
