The new enterprise will include, among others, the league structure of the Electronic Sports League (ESL) as well as the national branch of the ESL’s web-TV service – ESL TV.
The main aim of the partnership will be providing a professional platform for a vast gaming community with all the levels of play from casual to competitive. That might involve introducing projects like ESL Pro Series (national computer games league) including a series of live eSports events organized in the biggest Polish cities.

It attracted over 12,000 eSports enthusiasts from the whole country.
"The cooperation with Turtle Entertainment aiming at developing the Polish section of the ESL is, next to Cybersport.pl, a response to the growing interest in electronic sports in Poland," says Krzysztof Pikiewicz, the Project Manager at Cybersport.pl. "The enormous potential that both projects carry will allow us to elevate Polish eSports to a higher level," he adds.
"Poland is one of the most important eSports countries in the world in terms of the potential of the market, but also in how many amazing gamers it has," says Ralf Reichert, the Managing Director at Turtle Entertainment.
