Where to watch Elite League Swiss Stage
Elite League Swiss Stage to deliver interesting storylines
Despite Elite League taking place in an online setting, this tournament has some exciting stories to look forward to. Not only does this tournament play out on the newly released Patch 7.35d, we'll also see the biggest merge of powerhouses since ages.
Unlike other tournaments this year, Elite League will see the prominent Nigma Galaxy debut in its first tournament in 2024. Nigma Galaxy swiftly qualified for Elite League through the Middle East and North Africa qualifier. Team Falcons and PSG Quest who usually lead ahead of Nigma are both invited to the event.
On top of that, it's also interesting to see Aurora vs Talon Esports take place, especially after their recent heated social media exchange. We don't know what to expect, but it certainly seems like players of Aurora has beef against their former organization.
Elite League will also see new team rosters debut. Team Secret is participating with a new position 4, Tundra Esports with a new offlaner. Elite League will be one exciting event to spectate!
