ESL Challenger League Season 45 is the new season of the acclaimed tournament series, which is the first step in qualifying for the ESL Pro League. The tournament serves as a test of the capabilities of second-tier teams, offering them a chance to qualify for the major championship, held twice a year in Malta.
The ESL Challenger League itself dates back to 2009, when ESEA launched the inaugural CS:GO tournament series. As it progressed, the series changed its name and status to arrive at its current form at the start of its 40th season.
Nevertheless, in that time the tournament has produced many strong teams that have managed to break out of the TIER-2 scene and become strong fighters in the big championships.
