Tournament Overview
ESL Challenger Atlanta is an A-tier tournament with a $100,000 prize pool that will be held from October 4 to October 6 in Atlanta. Eight teams are featured, and they're not the best teams we're used to seeing at most tournaments. However, it's a chance for lower-level teams to earn some money and confidence, which makes it interesting to watch while some young teams shine.
