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.
