This year, Elisa Esports have brought both Finnish and international CS:GO content for fans all over the world. In our broadcasts, we have witnessed competitive gaming as its best: Tight situations, great wins and heartbreaking losses. It all climaxed in November when together with amazing partners we hosted the Elisa Masters Espoo ‘22 tournament.
Our international Twitch channel ElisaEsports had 104 broadcast days and fans spent 215 100 000 minutes watching our content. During those broadcasts you sent over 500 000 chat messages! In our tournaments we had players participating from over 30 different countries.
Our Finnish broadcast team had over 180 broadcast days during 2022, and during those days everyone had chance to follow, for example, Elisa Open by Kotipizza seasons and RMR and Major -tournament. People spent over 87 000 000 minutes watching our Finnish streams on ElisaViihdeSport Twitch-channel and sent over 429 000 chat messages.
In November we had 12 A-tier teams in Finland during the Elisa Masters Espoo ‘22. In Espoo Metro Arena over 9000 CS:GO fans cheered for their favorite teams. The weekend in the Arena was full of priceless moments, on and off-stage.
Elisa Esports thanks fans, teams, partners and everyone who has been part of our journey this year. We already have big plans for the next year – Elisa Invitational and Elisa Open Suomi have already been announced, stay tuned for more!
Elisa Open Suomi by Kotipizza -turnaukset olivat jymymenestys vuonna 2022 ja turnauskokonaisuus saa jatkoa myös 2023. Elisa Open Suomi palaa 4. ja 5. kausilla. Elisa Esports järjestää myös eSM-turnauksen, jossa kruunataan suomenmestari. Tämän kokonaisuuden joukkueet taistelevat rahapalkinnoista, Elisa Invitational -turnauksen Contenders -paikoista ja pääsystä suurempaan turnaukseen vuoden lopulle.
Elisa Open Suomi 4.−5.
Elisa Openin neljäs ja viides kausi pelataan kesäkuun 11. mennessä. Mukana on tuttuun tapaan Suomen parhaat joukkueet, joista osa saa suoran kutsun turnaukseen, kun muut pääsevät mittelemään halutuista paikoista avoimissa karsinnoissa. Hallitseva suomenmestari kutsutaan suoraan viidennelle kaudelle.
4. ja 5. kausilla on pelissä paljon:
- Finalisteille paikat seuraavaan Elisa Invitational -turnauksen Contenders -vaiheeseen
- Finalisteille paikka eSM-turnaukseen
- 5000€ per kausi
Suomenmestaruus
Elisa Esports järjestää eSM-turnauksen Assembly Summer 2023 -tapahtumassa, jossa tietenkin kruunataan suomenmestari. Ainut väylä lunastaa paikka eSM-turnaukseen on päästä finaaliin Elisa Open Suomen kausilla ennen suomenmestaruusturnausta (mikäli kausilla on päällekkäinen finalisti, jaetaan jäljelle jäävä paikka tai paikat Last Chance -karsinnassa kesätauon jälkeen).
eSM-turnauksen voittajalle on luvassa myös lisää pelattavaa vuoden lopulle. Lisätietoa eSM-turnauksesta tulee kevään aikana.
eSM-turnaksessa pelissä siis on:
- Suomenmestaruus
- Paikka loppuvuoden turnaukseen

The tournament gathers together World-Class teams to fight for the prize pool of $200,000 and a spot in the Play-In Stage of the prestigious Intel® Extreme Masters (IEM) Katowice 2023, which is one of the biggest events in esports.
Here is everything you need to know about the event.
TEAMS
INVITE TEAMS
ENCE
With Finnish roots, ENCE’s European roster has played in multiple Elisa Invitational tournaments. Bringing the beloved team to Espoo in front of Finnish fans is something we can’t wait for!
BIG
Founded in 2017, the Germany-based organization BIG are a known name in the global esports scene. The team has taken part in many Major tournaments, and this year they secured 3-4th place in IEM Dallas, taking home $20,000 in prize money.
Sprout
German-based Sprout is already familiar to us from Elisa Invitational and IEM Rio. In Rio they showed how strong their form can be, and Elisa Masters Espoo ‘22 is a great chance for them to show again how talented they are.
FNATIC
Fnatic was the first organization to win three Majors: DreamHack Winter 2013, ESL One: Katowice 2015 and ESL One: Cologne 2015. The orange-black colors are well known in the esports scene, with multiple legends that have played under their name. Even one of our talents, Jonatan “Devilwalk” Lundberg, has previously played in the team.
Complexity
Complexity has been a part of esports for a long time, building a remarkable legacy. Complexity, currently holding #18 in the world rankings, has players from the US, Canada, Norway, and South Africa. We can’t wait to see them play in Espoo!
Astralis
A few years back, the Danish star Astralis was feared by everyone, as they won basically every tournament they competed in. We are excited to have the legendary Danish team here in Espoo. We know Astralis office is full of trophies, but surely it fits the brightest souvenir from Elisa Masters Espoo ’22!
HAVU
Bringing Finnish teams to the spotlight has always been important to us. HAVU has been a familiar face in the Finnish esports scene ever since its founding in 2017, and they’re coming to Elisa Masters Espoo ’22 to show the home crowd what they’re made of.
