ESL Pro League Dallas Winners
That will run for four seasons of Pro League through December 2019. "Having two of ESL's most adored properties for CS:GO and Dota 2 streaming exclusively on Facebook is the next step in our efforts to delight the passionate esports community on Facebook".
The Esports Championship Series also partnered with YouTube in 2017, meaning that Twitch had lost two of the most prestigious Counter-Strike: Global Offensive leagues on Earth. Now, when tuning into shows on Facebook, you can switch between general chat and private chats with groups of friends who are currently also watching the broadcast. The first event in 2018 will be ESL One Genting 2018 in Malaysia taking place January 23-28, 2018, featuring 16 "Dota 2" top teams.
ESL's senior vice president of media rights and distribution, Nik Adams, told Polygon that the company hopes the partnership will help ESL to bring esports to brand new fans. Facebook Head of Esports & Gaming Partnerships Patrick Chapman said that ESL now gets 45% of its live ticket sales from the platform, driven in part by a May '17 on-demand content programming deal.

Grated, viewers will still be able to watch embedded streams at live.ESL-One.com and live.Proleague.com, but that made little difference to esports fans on Twitter.
Revealed in a press release last night, ESL - the world's largest esports organization - has signed an exclusive streaming deal with Facebook that will see the CS:GO Pro League as well the Dota 2 and more CS:GO events from the ESL One circuit all finding a new home on Facebook Watch.
"One of the key components that brought this project to fruition was the recent introduction of Facebook Watch", reads the announcement. From what we understand of the move, only the English and Portuguese language streams are moving to FB, with the other still remaining on Twitch. Soon, Facebook will roll out multiple options for watching competitions in VR, starting with Facebook 360 for Gear VR app which will provide an immersive, big screen viewing experience for ESL competitions on the go.
