ESL Pro League Season 10 groups revealed

2-10-2019 02:15

ESL has revealed the groups for the three divisions (Europe, Americas and Asia-Pacific) of the upcoming season of the ESL Pro League.

All three regions will feature 16 teams, who have been split into four round-robin groups, with all matches being played in a best-of-three format. In Europe and in the Americas, where the action will take place in a LAN setting, the group winners will automatically progress to the season finals, while the runners-up and third-placed sides will move on to a second group stage.

In the second group stage, these eight teams will be split into two groups. In Europe, the top two sides from both groups will advance to the LAN finals, while in the Americas, only the group winners will earn spots at the main event.

ESL Pro League Season 10 will kick off in a week

In Asia-Pacific, where the matches will be played online, the qualifying system will be slightly different: the top two teams from each group will advance to a second group stage, which will determine the two teams (one from Asia and one from Oceania) who will compete at the season finals.

ESL has not yet announced what will happen with the Americas spots that belonged to Ghost and ex-Luminosity, two teams who have disbanded since the end of Season 9. Both sides have been drawn in Group C, which also features Liquid and Renegades.

The ESL Pro League will return to Odense for a third event as the Danish city will host the season finals from December 3-8, with the playoffs being held at the Jyske Bank Arena. The winning side will walk away with the grand prize of $250,000 plus a spot at next year's IEM Katowice event.

Not just group a all the groups seem way stronger than group b

2019-10-02 02:45

D is fine because NaVi and G2 are top 10. unlucky for Fnatic/North and Optic/FaZe. Shitty groups tbh. Should move Optic over to B so only Fnatic/North get screwed no one else

2019-10-02 02:46

Holy shit this is so unfair. EU every group stacked, NA like 1 good team in every group and in asia there are like 2 teams i know LUL

That is why asia/oceania has got only 2 spots in finals

2019-10-02 02:24

that's why EU has more spots

2019-10-02 02:55

FURIA MIBR FINALLY

2019-10-02 03:02

meyern the traitor vs old teammates

2019-10-02 03:20

just make a SA qualifier instead of gifting a slot to ''NA'' group D.... what a joke

2019-10-02 03:51

group D is literally the SA qualifier

so why is furia not in there? its a gifted slot to a shit team.... renegades, furia or even potentialy liquid, eg, c9 or complexity will miss out on the event because of group D which is a joke...

2019-10-02 03:57

because FURIA play on NA. Sharks also play on NA but they went for a day to Mexico so they could play the north latam qualifier and steal a spot from lesser teams, another reason why I hate that org

2019-10-02 04:07

how is that scummy? this shit is unfair on sharks too, how come Europe get 16 slots but americas only get 12 with a whole continent getting its own shitty group despite always being included with the rest of the americas

2019-10-02 09:09

Europe is a better region, therefore they'll have more slots, and don't forget that just a year and a half ago SA didn't have any qualifiers. Sharks' move was scummy because the qualifier was to replace Denial with a team from the same region (north latam), which is a region with a complete lack of qualifiers, not to mention they'll face teams that compete in the SA region, while they're in NA playing ESEA and ECS

2019-10-02 15:40

mouz vs faze, astralis vs north, mibr vs furia and sharks vs isurus the most interesting matches here

2019-10-02 03:53

2019-10-02 04:32

rip aristocracy and big lol

Renegades be like "Why can't we play Oceania? This is bullshit! they let us play in the shitty region for Major Qualifiers!"

2019-10-02 06:33

renegades play in NA, they live there. but for majors, i don't think they can play Na minor due to being all australian

2019-10-02 10:20

Yes, I am aware of that. I was making fun of them for having to play NA qualifiers, where they will never get out. They never would have set foot in a Major if not for the ability to fly across the World to compete in qualifiers.
