Jason Kaplan - Commentator

Stuart "TosspoT" Saw - Commentator

Scott "SirScoots" Smith - Analyst

Duncan "Thorin" Shields - Analyst

Joshua "steel" Nissan - Observer

The tournament, to be held from March 13 - 16, will feature 16 international teams fighting over a US$250,000 prize pool. Said Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner, ESL Head of Commentary:

I'm thrilled that we have secured such an amazing lineup of talent and I am confident that collectively the team will bring an amazing weekend of CS:GO action to the viewers at home and at the venue in the best way they can.

We've got a real mix of youth and experience with SirScoots and Thorin performing similar roles to those at DreamHack alongside our host Sean Charles, who returns after a successful stint hosting the EMS One in 2013.

We also have one of the most experienced commentators in the business - Stuart Saw - returning to an ESL event to complement our regular EMS One pairing of Lauren and Jason. I'm also thrilled that we have secured the services of Joshua "steel" Nissan to observe the entire tournament. The role he performs should not be underestimated - he never misses a frag!

The stickers are in place, the drops are about to happen and the games are almost here. This is going to be an amazing tournament presented by an amazing team of people - GL HF!
