25 players speak out against NA team owners' plan to exclude ESL Pro League
The players of Cloud9, Immortals, Counter Logic Gaming, Team Liquid and Team SoloMid have alleged that the Professional eSports Association and the owners of its member teams have conspired to push ESL Pro League out of North America.
In an open letter penned by Scott "SirScoots" Smith and endorsed by all five teams' rosters, the players claim that the PEA sent an ultimatum to ESL, demanding that ESL Pro League either stop operating in North America or face a boycott from the regions' teams.
