Rise Above Fate

Venture into the cosmic world of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. A journey led by no other than Nerif, the Oracle and great foreseer.

Join us as we witness the world's best 12 teams attempt to become the makers of their fate during Group Stage from December 11th to 13th. Only the top 8 teams will battle it out in front of a live audience in the arena at the MITEC for the Playoffs on December 15th - 17th. As their courses collide in pursuit of the ESL One Trophy and compete for $1,000,000 - we'll have to wait and see who can Rise Above Fate.

Knowing Oracle ... it could go either way.
