We’re proud to announce that Chicken Coop Esports has officially been invited to compete in the North America Closed Qualifier for ESL Pro League Season 22! This prestigious invite is a reflection of our recent form and standing in the Valve Regional Rankings (VRS) as of July 7, 2025.

The Stakes

The competition will run from July 11–14, and here’s the kicker — only the 1st place team qualifies directly to the ESL Pro League Season 22 Main Event in Stockholm, which kicks off September 27.

This isn’t just another qualifier. This is our shot at putting Chicken Coop on the international stage, live from Sweden, among the world’s elite Counter-Strike 2 teams.

Why This Is Huge for Us

In just over a year since our founding, Chicken Coop has gone from local scrims to regional relevance. This invite is more than recognition — it’s an opportunity to prove that North American grassroots CS2 still has bite (and cluck). We’ve worked hard to build a culture rooted in discipline, talent development, and team cohesion — and now, it’s time to test that work against the best in NA.

What’s Ahead

🔸 Bootcamp Mode Activated – We’re scrimming daily, grinding out strats, and preparing mentally for a high-pressure bracket.
🔸 All Eyes on July 11 – Our opening matches will be streamed and covered in real-time. Join our Discord and follow us on socials for match schedules and live updates.
🔸 1 Goal: Stockholm – We’re not here for participation trophies. We’re here to win.

A Message to the Coop Community

We couldn’t have made it this far without the incredible support of our fans, players, and staff. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or just joined the roost — thank you. The journey to Stockholm starts now, and every voice cheering us on makes a difference.
