DeKay\u2019s Sources: RFRSH and ESL at odds over CS:GO event dates Danish esports company RFRSH Entertainment and German esports company ESL are at odds over the dates of their respective Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league finals in December, according to multiple sources from both sides of the situation. One source told Dexerto that RFRSH had put in a claim for the dates first, with ESL attempting to claim the same dates afterwards. The same source indicated that discussions between the two are ongoing, but a resolution isn\u2019t expected anytime soon. Sources close to ESL have explained that, in December 2018, RFRSH marked a weekend in December 2019 as a \u201cbackup\u201d date. ESL had picked those same dates for the Season 10 ESL Pro League Finals and, after ESL contacted them about the clash, RFRSH agreed to use a different weekend. However, last month they contacted ESL again to explain there was now a conflict for the original dates that appeared to have been sorted. The details of Season 10 of ESL Pro League season are yet to be announced, with Season 9 still ongoing. Season 9 is the first season in the league\u2019s history to be played entirely offline and its second stage of group stage play begins next week.
