The offline finals of the third season of the Esports Championship Series (ECS) will be held at the SSE Arena, in London, the league's organisers have announced.

The prestigious indoor arena, previously known as Wembley Arena, already hosted the first edition of ECS, last summer, which saw G2 take the title after beating Luminosity Gaming in the final.

Last week, HLTV.org revealed that the prize pool for ECS Season 3 would remain unchanged and that the league would culminate with an offline event from June 24-25, with eight teams in attendance.

Tickets for the ECS Season 3 finals are already on sale at wembley.csgoleague.com.

Meanwhile, ECS has announced that it has entered into a partnership with Esports Arena, a 15,000 square foot venue located in Santa Ana, California. The arena, which hosted the 2015 iBUYPOWER Cup, will stage next month a $20,000 competition called the Esports Arena Showdown Championship, for which Denial and Splyce are already confirmed.

Through this partnership, Esports Arena will stage live mid-season ECS events in the future. Quizzed by HLTV.org, an Esports Arena spokesperson stated that details about its first ECS tournament are being finalised and that an announcement is forthcoming.
