Facebook Inked a Big-Time Esports Livestreaming Pact With ESL

The exclusive agreement covers CS:GO Pro League and ESL One Dota 2 and CS:GO

Esports giant ESL announced an agreement to bring two of its top competitions—the CS:GO Pro League Counter-Strike: Global Offensive competition (with WESA, the World Esports Association) and the ESL One Dota 2 and CS:GO circuit—exclusively to Facebook.

The competitions will be streamed exclusively via Facebook Live in English and Portuguese, and ESL said other languages are available but not exclusive to Facebook. The content will be available in 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, and it can be viewed via virtual reality.
