Growth and 1 Year Mark

QEL is almost reaching our 1 year anniversary running events, while we are still grass roots as a league, as we continue to grow we hope to actively improve our structure and professionalism and we are looking to expand our staff in the near future. We are thankful for everyone that has played and participated in our leagues at this point, we hope to have a special announcement ready in the upcoming months that we have been working on, so that we can continue to run better events.

Prize Pool Distribution

QEL would like to say in response to concerns raised by players, we would like to formally clarify that for all major events going forward ($1,000k USD+), including Proving Grounds I, prize pool distribution will occur within 2–3 months.

This will not be the case however for events/cups that have smaller prize pools.

While our last four events were completed faster, sometimes within a week. This update reflects our continued expansion and scale. As our events remain free to enter and will continue to remain free, this adjusted timeline ensures sustainability moving forward.

QEL Private Invitational Map Test II

QEL Would like to announce our second map test for our MGE map that has been in development. Following a successful private tournament won by Alov, this next event will continue to be an invite only event, featuring numerous top MGE/6s European players. The format will begin with a group stage format followed by a double elimination tournament, it will be streamed live on twitch.tv/quickesportsleague on 04/25/26.
