    What is the ECL?

    The ECL is the pinnacle of European NHL esports. The abbreviation stands for the European Championship League and it features NHL 6v6 esports in five divisions aimed at various skill levels. Every player, including the goalies, is controlled by a human. League games are played in the EASHL mode and the platform is PlayStation and Xbox. ECL has been played since 2015, so the upcoming season is already the 17th. The latest addition to the ECL product family is a 1v1 tournament, where Europe's best solo players fight for the championship. ECL 1v1 has been played since the ECL '23 Winter season. Basic information/requirements of ECL: Regional restrictions: ECL is a European tournament format, however, we do not necessarily exclude players located in North America or Asia. A European server will always be used. We reserve the right to exclude teams or players in case of severe connection issues. Individual requirements: Each player needs to have an account at SportsGamer.GG and create their personal player card. ECL licenses: Teams in ECL Elite & ECL Pro, ECL Lite, and ECL Core will require their respective ECL ‘24: Spring team licenses in order to play. In addition, every player in the above-mentioned divisions needs to have a valid ECL ‘24: Player License or ECL ‘24: Spring Player License before taking the ice. Rules: The ECL '24: Spring rulebook will be practically the same as for the Winter season, you can check out last season's rules here. The divisions framework for the ECL ‘23 season will follow the same logic as for previous seasons. We will have a total of five divisions with the following team allocation: Elite 16 teams Pro 32 teams Lite 64 teams Core (up to) 128 teams and Neo 32+ teams. Please refer to this ECL Ranking in order to understand which teams are eligible to sign up for each division. Generally speaking, teams that are new to the ECL will start in the Neo or Core division. However, it is possible to apply for the ECL Lite qualifications to prove that you can compete at that level.

  6. Gamers, The NHL 24 competitive season is in full speed and the excitement is far from over, with the much-anticipated regional championships on the horizon. It's with great enthusiasm that we announce the return of the Swedish Championship League (SCL) for its exciting sixth season! This year, we're inviting players to compete in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S edition of NHL 24 promising a thrilling experience for all. This spring marks the eagerly awaited comeback of the SCL, bringing together Swedish gamers for another round of eHockey action. So, rally your teammates and join us for an unforgettable tournament experience, with the coveted Swedish Championship titles up for grabs! Last season, Färjestad BK clinched the 6v6 championship, while Henrik @Eken45jr Eklund secured his fifth consecutive 1v1 title, both earning the top seed in this year's playoffs according to SCL rules. Despite the setback of not having a prize pool for the 2024 season due to unforeseen challenges, our commitment to nurturing the Swedish gaming community and the SCL's future remains unwavering. We are committed to delivering the high-quality coverage and broadcast production you've come to expect from us. Schedule SIGN UP FOR 1v1 HERE!

(Swedish) Eligibility In the development of our regional leagues, the main objective has been creating a structure that allows all of the regional communities to shine, while strengthening each tournament’s own unique identity and sense of national pride. For SCL 2024, two non-Swedish players will be allowed per team on ice in a game – under very specific conditions. Here they are: Outside of the Swedish championship (SCL). The German (GCL), Finnish (eHSM), and Czech and Slovak (CSCL) communities will be defined as the “major communities” for the purposes of this text. Players hailing from nations that currently do not have a region-based championship to sign up for – one where they are allowed to play free of restrictions and are counted as the main target demographic – will be defined as “minor communities” for the purposes of this text. All teams must always feature a minimum of 4 Swedish players in their on-ice lineup Teams may feature a maximum of two non-Swedish players on ice if both players are from a minor community (for example: Danish, Norwegian, Latvian) Teams may feature a maximum of two non-Swedish players on ice if one player is from a major community (German, Finnish, Russian, Czech, Slovak) and the other player from a minor community Teams may NOT feature two non-Swedish players on ice if both those players are from a major community (German, Finnish, Russian, Czech, Slovak) Below you will find an image to help illustrate this rule clarification: The 1vs1 portion of the SCL is available only for Swedish citizens. We hope you are as excited as us to take the ice and battle for the Swedish Championship once again! Tough battles and some heated rivalries are to be expected, and we'll be bringing you the decisive games of the season live with our broadcast team as usual. So without further ado, get your squad together and sign up now! Finally, if you would like to help the SCL grow, please do so by spreading the word by sharing this news story.
  7. Hi @zSnYp7z - for some reason your community profile had been removed - perhaps your email wasn't verified within 30 days and it was auto-pruned. Nevertheless, this left your player card unlinked and that's why you were having this issue. I have re-linked your account with your player card and everything should be ok now. 👋

  13. Finals Previews  SACK BROTHERS (2) vs  Belissimo (9) As the virtual ice beckons for the grand finale of the ECL '24 Winter - Core, the eHockey community braces for an epic showdown between the high-flying Sack Brothers and the steadfast Belissimo. The path to the finals has been a testament to each team's prowess and their captivating journey sets the stage for a clash that promises to deliver intensity, skill, and strategic depth. The Sack Brothers have been nothing short of an offensive juggernaut throughout the playoffs, netting a remarkable 91 goals. Their special teams have been a cornerstone of their success; a scintillating powerplay boasts a 24.49% conversion rate, and their penalty kill stands resilient at 83.78%. These statistics are not just numbers but a reflection of a disciplined team that knows how to capitalize on every opportunity and stifle the opposition's threats. Anchoring their defensive end is the stalwart goaltending of @Janucek, who has posted an impressive 85.61% save percentage and a GAA of 1.82, a bulwark that has consistently given the Sack Brothers the edge. The goaltender duo for Sack Brothers has shared their duties pretty much  50/50 with the responsibility between the pipes, though, and the finals series will be started by @Supeeerkirooo (80.74%, 2.36 GAA), who had a key role in winning the Semifinals against Bushwhackers in a seven-game series, where the goalies also shared the responsibility. Belissimo's journey has been characterized by a solid defense and a balanced offensive strategy, having scored 61 goals while conceding 49. Their power play might not match the explosiveness of the Sack Brothers, standing at 10.81%, but it's their defensive grit that has shone, with a penalty kill rate of 81.25%. They've demonstrated an ability to grind out results, as reflected in their 12-3-5-2 playoff record, and have continuously found ways to triumph in the face of adversity. The finals matchup sets a tantalizing narrative: the Sack Brothers' offensive firepower versus Belissimo's defensive fortitude. Special teams could play the pivotal role; the Sack Brothers' potent power play could be the decisive factor, while Belissimo's ability to withstand and counter-attack could level the playing field. In the playoffs so far, Belissimo has been called for 62 penalty minutes (2.8 PIM/game), while Sack Brothers have sat in the box a little more, at 74 minutes (3.7 PIM/game).   In this ultimate test of ECL Core supremacy, the Sack Brothers parade a multi-dimensional attack led by the phenomenal @Jjomppa, the playoffs' top scorer with an incredible 70 points, and the ever-dangerous @snippystatue, who has amassed 54 points. Their depth is further illustrated by players like @datzonee, who has notched 24 points. Belissimo counters with the distributed scoring from @MrMikkiL and @Hauhtonen, suggesting a team synergy that thrives without reliance on individual stardom. As the puck drops on the finals, we're poised to witness a potential goaltending duel that could steal the spotlight, with both @Janucek/@Supeeerkirooo and @Odexm proving they can be game-changers. It comes down to which team can leverage their strengths and exploit the opposition's weaknesses. Will the Sack Brothers' offensive prove overwhelming, or will Belissimo's balanced approach and resilience craft a path to victory? The ECL '24 Winter - Core finals promise not just a battle for the championship title but a spectacle that you will definitely want to tune in to! ChatGPT Prediction: Sack Brothers to win 4-2. This prediction is based on the statistical analysis of both teams' performances thus far and the assumption that the Sack Brothers' offensive momentum will carry them through, despite the tough competition Belissimo is sure to provide. May the best team win!
