The organizers of ESL Pro League to reveal a new system of the group stage

Add as a Preferred Source

A new system for creating the groups of league participants will be integrated in ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals.

Instead of seeding the participants according to the groups they took in regional leagues, ESL decided to give teams a possibility to select the opponents they don’t want to see in their groups and in this way to avoid matches with them in the group stage.
