Last year, ECS was launched by famous e-sports platform FACEIT after its collaboration with Amazon.com. In the same year, the first two seasons of league was presented by the gaming website.

Co founder of FACEIT, Michele Attisani, told that it is the perfect time to collaborate with YouTube as the video service is investing more on live streaming.

On social platform, live video is becoming a highly competitive element. According to FACEIT, 25th March is the starting date for third season of ECS and it will be available live and exclusively on YouTube.
