About this case

For ESL Gaming, Fabit produced the ESL Pro League Trophy 2026, continuing the legacy of one of the most prestigious and recognisable trophies in competitive gaming.

As a symbol of achievement at the highest level of professional Counter-Strike competition, the trophy is designed to command attention both on stage and on screen. The challenge was to preserve the visual authority and premium quality that define the award while delivering a finish that reflects the status of the championship itself.

The result is a trophy built around a bold satin black exterior that conceals a rich gold leaf interior. The contrast between the restrained outer form and the luminous inner surfaces creates a powerful visual statement, symbolising the extraordinary achievement required to reach the pinnacle of competition. Together, these elements create a championship trophy that reflects both the prestige of the ESL Pro League and the ambition of the teams competing for it.

The matte black outer form delivers a refined and commanding presence, while the gold leaf interior introduces depth, richness, and a sense of achievement at the heart of the design. Together, these materials create a visual focal point that reinforces the championship’s prestige and elevates the trophy’s presence on stage and on camera.
