The Nordic region's largest CS:GO tournament "King of Nordic Championship" is returning with a new season. Once again this is made possible with our fantastic sponsor Cooler Master. Cooler Master have really shown that they are dedicated in growing esports in the nordic. As the last season we will broadcast the local qualifiers that have been super interesting and we expect nothing else from season 17. As usual the weekly final takes place on Fridays and are hosted by Jesper "kreativ" Sedendahl and Gustav "kronvall" Kronvall.King of Nordic Championship fills the gap between amateur and professional teams and offers new talents the chance to be discovered overnight. Several elite players such as REZ, Magisk, sergej have played in the King of Nordic Championship before being picked up by the top teams. After more than 250 broadcasts, the tournament is a natural part of the Nordic esport scene and ESEN eSports most appreciated production.

"King of nordic is very special to me and I love it with all my heart. Having sponsors like Cooler master is inspiring and makes it possible to give amateurs a chance to grow and compete. Sponsors a side KoN has the best community partners and staff in the world and their passion and hard work is unique. We aren't competing with other tournaments with millions in prize money and never will. King of Nordic brings other values that i think is much more important." - Says Christer "MrMouse" Körnbäck, Founder of King of Nordic.
