 National Cups & ESL Pro Series
 Just like in previous seasons, ESL Pro Series serves as a nationally based ranking, in which the top teams will automatically claim the international qualifier spots that the particular country claimed. If your country did not finish an EPS season including Counter-Strike this year (2009), you will be able to win championship title in your National Cup. Information regarding the national cups and the two international qualifications rounds is available here
