ESL Pro League Season 11 teams, schedule revealed

18-2-2020 16:55

The participating teams and schedule for the upcoming 11th season of ESL Pro League, which will run from March 16 to April 12, has been announced by the organizers.

The 11th season of ESL Pro League will span four weeks, with the first three reserved for the best-of-three round-robin group stage played in a live studio setting, in which the 24 participants will be spread across four groups.

The first-placed teams in each group will play against each other in the "Play-in", which will award the winning sides a spot in the semi-finals, while the losing sides will go to the quarter-finals. In the meantime, second to third-placed teams will make it to the first round of playoffs.

Group winners will skip at least two playoffs rounds

When the playoffs reach the quarter-finals, the competition will move from the studio to an as-yet-undisclosed arena location.

After announcing the 24 teams invited to the event, ESL has now confirmed that all of them have accepted. 13 of them received a place due to their partnered status, while the rest comprises the remaining Season 10 Finalists (excluding Cloud9 and MIBR, who are part of FLASHPOINT), winners of MDL Season 32, and the four teams next in line based on the ESL World Ranking.

The full list of teams looks as follows:

Denmark Astralis
Europe Complexity
Finland ENCE
United States Evil Geniuses
Europe FaZe
Sweden fnatic
France G2
Brazil FURIA
Europe GODSENT
Denmark HEROIC
Denmark North
Australia Renegades
Europe MOUZ
Russia Natus Vincere
Sweden Ninjas in Pyjamas
United States Liquid
France Vitality
Australia 100 Thieves
Russia FORZE
Brazil INTZ
Europe OG
Kazakhstan Virtus.pro
Brazil Sharks
China TYLOO

With the group distribution still unannounced, ESL has revealed a rough schedule of the four-week competition. The group stage will begin on March 16 with the first two groups running until March 25, followed by the third and fourth group on March 26 to April 4.

There will be no off days until after the first two rounds of playoffs, as the action will run nonstop from Monday to Sunday until week four when there will be two days off before the top-six stage, played in an arena.

March 16-March 24: Groups A & B
March 25: Play-in match A1 vs. B1
March 26-April 3: Groups C & D
April 4: Play-in match C1 vs. D1
April 5-7: Playoffs rounds 1 & 2
April 10: Quarter-finals
April 11: Semi-finals
April 12: Grand final

Why would ESL choose to not have mibr, but have much worse BR teams? They have no reason to. You shouldve been able to understand that without knowing about flashpoint. Sadly, you dont think.
