The ESL had announced that the second Global Challenge event would not take place in New York City after the Digital Life Trade Fair was canceled, which left the organisation in a quest to find an adequate replacement on U.S. soil.

It has now been confirmed that the second Global Challenge, which will feature Counter-Strike: 1.6 and World of Warcraft, is due to take place at the E for All Expo in Los Angeles from October 3rd-5th.

Sixteen Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft teams will clash for a total prize purse of $80,000 USD, as well as two continental spots in the season's Global Finals.

The ESL event is scheduled to take place at the exact same time as Major League Gaming's third PC Circuit event, which will be held Dallas, Texas, and will feature World of Warcraft as well.
