Amateur Series

The ESL has released the prizes for the eslAS. They prizes on offer are identical for the amateur series and the night cup series, therefore look up for the prizes! The amateur series plays every Sunday and the occasional Tuesday and Thursday. With the table in full flow, i'll give a quick overview of how its going.

Rank	Name	Points	Matches	W	D	L
1.	Acumen	1053	4	3	0	1
2.	Virtuoso	1048	2	2	0	0
3.	The Spartans	1039	6	4	0	2
4.	wonderboys	1036	11	6	1	4
5.	esu	1004	2	0	2	0

From this we can see there is going to be close competition between Acumen and Virtuoso. It is doubtful the rest of the teams in the top 5 will be able to get into the top 2, a intense battle for the prizes on offer for the 3rd place is on the cards!
