COLOGNE 2019EVENT GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
WELCOMEWe are excited to welcome you to the fifth iteration of ESL One Cologne in the LANXESS arena. The team has worked tirelessly to put together the best show this event as ever seen. Our goal is to bring the players and you, the fans, together under one common roof for years to come. ESL One Cologne has grown from a normal tournament to the home of the best CS and has truly become the Cathedral of Counter-Strike.
In the last couple of years we have created a multitude of unique moments that have changed the landscape of competitive Counter-Strike for ever. Be it Cinderella story of BIG making it to the Grand Final as the underdog or s1mple clutching it out with 2 unbelievable no-scopes, ESL One Cologne has never failed to amaze.
For 5 years Cologne has been become the place were the greatest Counter-Strike teams in the world are battling it out for glory and the ESL One trophy. For 5 years Cologne has welcomed fans from all over the world to come together for one whole weekend, to celebrate their passion and make new friends along the way. For 5 years the players and fans have put on a show that will be remembered for years to come. The cathedral opens its door once more to find out who stands on top of the world of Counterstrike.
We are ready, are you?
