Although ESEA is hosted in North America, players from other continents are allowed to participate in any of the divisions. At the end of each season the top teams from the Invite division participate in a LAN event to compete for the Invite prize pool.<br /> <br /> ESEA introduced an European TF2 Open division in S15, which opens up the possibility for an intercontinental TF2 LAN in future seasons like currently hosted for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.<br /> <br /> == Format ==<br /> The ESEA regular season consists of 16 regular season matches, played over 8 maps with one map per week. The top teams from each division participate in double-elimination playoffs to compete for the division's prize pool. Each game in the playoff bracket at ESEA LAN is played as a best-of-3-matches, while playoff games in the other divisions are single-game.<br /> <br /> Matches are played on a single map, with two halves of 30 minutes. Depending on the game type, the win conditions differ:<br /> * On [[5CP]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out or one team wins 3 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 5 rounds;<br /> * On [[King of the Hill]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out or one team wins 3 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 4 rounds;<br /> * On [[Attack/Defend]] maps, each half consists of a [[stopwatch]] round. The teams alternate between attacking and defending, such as if team A defended first, team B will be the first to defend in the next round. Each team can score one point in a half. The game ends once one of the teams reaches 2 points.<br /> * [[Capture the Flag]] maps have no capture limits, but the duration of each half is shortened to 20 minutes. The team with the most captures by the end of the second half wins.<br /> <br /> Between seasons, teams may be promoted or relegated to another division based on their performance during the season.<br /> <br /> === Fees ===<br /> To participate in ESEA, all players are required to pay a league fee and subscribe to ESEA Premium. The fees are as follows:<br /> * Invite: $85 (includes free premium)<br /> * Main: $15<br /> * Intermediate: $12<br /> * Open: $10<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> * [http://www.esea.net/ Official ESEA website]<br /> * [http://play.esea.net/index.php?s=content&amp;d=league_rules_tf2 ESEA TF2 rules]<br /> <br /> {{ESEA competitions}}{{Popular topics navbox}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Team Fortress 2 organizations]]<br /> [[Category:6v6 leagues]]<br /> [[Category:North American TF2 leagues]]</div>
