SEL is an exiting new concept within the Esports scene. The game is Counter-Strike, and the competitors must be representing a net cafe. The Arenas are the Clans home cafe. This secures that the pings are quite equal, and that there is no cheating amongst the contending clans.

Since a net cafe must sponsor the participating clan, the clans playing is mostly cream of the crop of the many good clans in Sweden.

The rule system is new; a clan is punished by deduction of prize if some of the members do not upload in-eye demos of each and every match. This secures that you can download all the in-eye demos you want, in addition to the HLTV demos. The coverage of this event is excellent, complete with HLTV.

The prizes are not high, but good enough, and will push the idea about professional gamers living of their playing forward.
