Australian Cyber League is returning to Sydney this July with the largest event it has ever held.

As we announced back then, ACL Sydney will be held at the Australian Technology Park - the same venue that housed the 2012 Blizzard WCS Australia/Oceania Finals! Come join us for the largest multi-title eSports event that Australia has ever seen where ACL truly brings gaming to the next level.
