Hello everyone,
I wanted to write a small Thread about the Electronic Sports League
I thought it would be much easier to get new Players if we've got a Guide "How to join ESL", that's why I am trying to help the Players, who think it's complicated to join Crossfire on ESL. I hope it will help you!
First of all what does ESL mean?
The Electronic Sports League (ESL, formerly ESPL ) is an E-sports League, which is operated by the company Turtle Entertainment in Cologne.
Today it comprises more than 4,000,000 registered members and 950,000 teams, which have played over 20 million game plays] in addition to leagues and tournaments and VERSUS, the own matchmaking of ESL, which are offered in over 50 games in different genres, the best players in various national and international leagues can play for prize money.
What do you need to do to be able to play?
- An ESL Account [1.]
- Crossfire Europe GameAccount [2.]
- ESL Wire [3.]
- Moss [4.]
Before I talk about Wire and Moss I will show you how to sign up and enter your GameAccount (CF EU Nickname) .
I'm trying to do it quite simple with the 4 Main Points, that's why I am writing Numbers in brackets [ ] , there are only 4 Numbers
[1.] How do I sign up?
- Registration Link : http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/register_player/
[2.] How do I connect my CF EU account with ESL profile?
- Enter your Crossfire EU Nickname: http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/add_gameaccount/?type=crossfire_nickname_eu
- Make sure to enter your Game Account in the field 'Value' (make sure name capitalization is right!)
- If you ever wish to change your Game Account, just visit the same link write down the reason why you are changing your Game Account, and most important attach screenshot from your inventory so Admins can confirm the change.
[3.] What is ESL Wire?
http://www.esl.eu/eu/wire/anti-cheat/
ESL Wire is the Main Anti Cheat of the ESL. You need to use it in Ladders, Cups, Versus (that means everywhere)
I will link you the FAQ of Wire. It might help you if you are having Problems with it: http://www.esl.eu/eu/wire/wire_faqs/
You installed Wire, but you don't know what to do now?
You need to add Crossfire into Wire, here is a small Guide how to add Crossfire!
http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/wire_guide/
If you are having any problems you can easily contact the Crossfire ESL Support : http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/support
We also have a Forum, if you have any Questions you will get the answer here : http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/forum/1683/26872/
[4.] What is Moss?
MOSS (Monitor Overclock status - and Screenshots). This new tool combines the EOS Overclock monitoring with Random Screenshots to provide you with a secured ZIP of match activities, of course ESL Wire usage is still mandatory and handles the anti-cheat part.
MOSS is mandatory in all supported games and their ladders and cups.
If the Link does not work there you can also use the Link in the Rules!
http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/go4crossfire/cup77/rules/
Scroll down to the Point 2.1.2, there you can find everything about Moss.
Now you've completed all steps and you can start playing CrossFire on ESL.

VERSUS is the new matchmaking system from the Electronic Sports League. It has never been easier to find people to play with!
