Facebook continues to gobble up esports rights.

The arrangement covers the UK and extends to new territories which are part of Gfinity’s global expansion plans with the exception of Australia and starts with immediate effect with the Gfinity Elite Series Season Three in the UK. FACEIT detailed plans to bring its FPL Circuit to North America to “create a new CS:GO competitive space for seasoned professional players, as well as a system for players to climb the ranks on a clear path to becoming a professional player.” Structured similarly to the FPL in Europe, the FACEIT Pro League North America will have a $20,000 prize pool every month, in addition to the FPL Challenger League which will have a prize pool of $3,000 and act as a venue for amateurs and established professionals to play together. ESL is partnering with Gameflip, a marketplace for gaming digital goods, that makes Gameflip an exclusive partner for ESL Pro League Season 7, the key Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament run by ESL.
