For a while now there has been hot debate about which of the remaining UK sides deserved the final invite slot to the ESL UK Premiership after exceL eSports scooped up the seventh spot last week. Popular choices included the newly adopted CAZ eSports and The Last Resort, however rumours have now been put to rest after ESL UK yesterday confirmed that GLG would be taking the final invite to the premiership. Though having gone through numerous revisions, the GLG title has been around in Counter Strike for many years now, with faces notable for being able to cause a stir.
