CCT Confirms Multiple Partners for National Leagues
Berlin, November 17, 2022 — Champion of Champions Tour secured eleven partnerships throughout Europe to facilitate the National Leagues.
The National Leagues are a new competition that will occur simultaneously with the core of the CCT, and will operate as a separate entity under the CCT umbrella, eventually feeding into the Online Series of the Tour.
Competitors will fight their way through their respective region’s National League, where the winners will claim seeding into the core CCT. The champion of each National League will additionally be included in the CCT point system, giving them the chance to accumulate points across the subsequent Online Series and qualify for a spot at a Studio Final.
This initiative aims to create more pathways for regional talent to enter CCT and showcase their skills in the global circuit.
A new event exclusive to National League winners is being introduced in 2023 as well — the CCT National Finals. This event will bring together the winner of each region, pitting them against each other to become the sole champion of this branch of CCT.
Fabian Logemann, Head of Tournaments, about the CCT National Leagues:
“We created the Champion of Champions Tour with the ambition to offer opportunities to teams, brands, tournament organisers and most importantly the players who work tirelessly to make it in the game they love so much. Today, we’re happy to announce that CCT National Leagues is opening more pathways for players to compete in our global circuit and are acknowledging the impressive efforts of tournament organisers around the world. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with this strong group of organisers and to bring the CCT to even more communities.”

- Tiltproof Balkan League
- Polska Liga Esportowa
- Finnish Esports League
- Fragster CS:GO Liga

Each partner will aid in the facilitation of the National League within their respective countries, culminating in the CCT National League Finals.

Dates to be announced for each National League.
