ESL Gaming has partnered with Guinevere Capital to reintroduce a top-tier Oceanic League of Legends league in 2021.
Earlier this year, LoL publisher Riot Games pulled the plug on the region’s top competitive league, discontinuing the Oceanic Pro League (OPL).
However, in a new development, ESL and Guinevere will obtain a three-year license to operate a LoL competition in the region, with an option to extend a further three years. There will be eight teams in the new league in 2021 — the same number as the previous OPL.
