ESL Pro League Season 14 team list set

23-7-2021 17:40

The tournament's roster has been finalized with the addition of the top sides from the ESL World Ranking.

The 24 teams that will compete at ESL Pro League Season 14 have been set in stone with the addition of the top squads in the ESL World Ranking, as the final seven invites to the tournament were handed out to the highest placed teams outside of those already qualified.

The IEM Cologne quarter-finalists, Gambit, were the first to be included, followed by HEROIC, Virtus.pro, BIG and FURIA, four top 10 teams in the ranking used to hand out invites, with Spirit and OG remaining as the last two to make the cut.

Gambit were first in line to get an ESL Pro League Season 14 spot

Previously, the first to be confirmed had been the 12 partnered teams that don't change season to season: Natus Vincere, G2, Astralis, FaZe, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Vitality, MOUZ, Liquid, Complexity, Evil Geniuses, ENCE and fnatic.

Five teams had then found their way to ESL's flagship league through ESEA Premier in three different regions. Entropiq and SINNERS won seasons in Europe, TeamOne and Bad News Bears did the same in North America, and Renegades made it through the Australia and New Zealand division.

ESL Pro League Season 14, which was originally scheduled to be played on LAN in Malta but will finally have to be played online, will kick off after the player break from August 16 to September 12.

The ESL Pro League Season 14 roster is:

Partner teams

Qualified teams

Let's go OG! Even though EPL 14 is only this lineup's 4th big event ever, I'm confident top 5 IGL Aleksib, top 5 AWPer Mantuu, best Danish rifler Valde, notorious niko and the most promising entry fragger FlameZ are going come in all guns blazing and lift the ESL Pro League Season 14 trophy! Sure, OG doesn't have a fancy pants "superstar player" like Navi does in Electronic or Vitality in Misutaa, but that does not matter in the slightest because OG has something no other contender team possesses; The Power of Friendship. Think about it. What has historically caused the downfall of legendary, era defining teams like Astralis, NIP and ENCE eSports? That's right, the lack of power of friendship. Just imagine how many more Majors Astralis could have won if instead of hard work they would have put more time and effort in to developing their friendship. I think it's fair to say that OG has in their own special way re-defined professional Counter Strike as we know it. Their groundbreaking method of occasionally losing an important elimination match just to shock everyone with their incredibly high level of play in the next tournament truly instills fear in to their opponents. Many do not understand the genius logic behind a move like this, but let me tell you, underestimating Aleksib's fat brain is quite possibly the biggest mistake one can make in the esports space. There is no reason to think Aleksib's strategies coupled with the ingenious antics of Mantuu, Valde, niko, FlameZ and Ruggah along with their natural power of friendship wouldn't be enough for OG Esports to dominate the rest of 2021.

2021-07-23 17:46

Let's go FAZE! Even though EPL 14 is only this lineup's 2nd big event ever(after goatmeister was added), I'm confident top 5 IGL Karrigan, top 5 AWPer broky(god helvijs), best Canadian rifler Twistzz, notorious olofmeister and the most seasoned veteran entry fragger rain (hs god) are going come in all guns blazing and lift the ESL Pro League Season 14 trophy! Sure, FaZe doesn't have fancy pants "superstar player" like Navi does in Electronic or Vitality in Misutaa, but that does not matter in the slightest because FaZe has something no other contender team possesses; The Power of Karrigan and olof's brain. Think about it. What has historically caused the downfall of legendary, era defining teams like Astralis, NIP and ENCE eSports? That's right, the lack of CS mastery. Just imagine how many more Majors Astralis could have won if instead of hard work they would have put more time and effort in to developing their friendship and keeping devve. I think it's fair to say that FaZe has in their own special way re-defined professional Counter Strike as we know it. Their groundbreaking method of occasionally losing an important elimination match just to shock everyone with their incredibly high level of play in the next tournament truly instills fear in to their opponents. Many do not understand the genius logic behind a move like this, but let me tell you, underestimating Karrigan's fat brain is quite possibly the biggest mistake one can make in the esports space. There is no reason to think Karrigan's strategies coupled with the ingenious antics of Olof, broky, rain, Twistzz and Robban along with their natural power of sweeping away opponents wouldn't be enough for DEAG CLAN to dominate the rest of 2021.

Let's go Liquid! Even though EPL 14 is only this lineup's 5th big event together, I'm confident top 5 IGL Stewie2k, top 5 AWPer FalleN, best American rifler EliGE, notorious NAF and the most promising entry fragger Grim are going come in all guns blazing and lift the ESL Pro League Season 14 trophy! Sure, Liquid doesn't have a fancy pants "superstar player" like Navi does in Electronic or Vitality in Misutaa, but that does not matter in the slightest because Liquid has something no other contender team possesses; The Power of Raw NA Aim. Think about it. What has historically caused the downfall of legendary, era defining teams like Astralis, NIP and ENCE eSports? That's right, the lack of Raw NA Aim. Just imagine how many more Majors Astralis could have won if instead of hard work they would have put more time and effort in to developing their Raw NA Aim. I think it's fair to say that Liquid has in their own special way re-defined professional Counter Strike as we know it. Their groundbreaking method of occasionally losing an important elimination match just to shock everyone with their incredibly high level of play in the next tournament truly instills fear in to their opponents. Many do not understand the genius logic behind a move like this, but let me tell you, underestimating Stewie2k's fat brain is quite possibly the biggest mistake one can make in the esports space. There is no reason to think Stewie2k's strategies coupled with the ingenious antics of FalleN, EliGE, NAF, Grim, and adreN along with their natural power of friendship wouldn't be enough for Liquid Esports to dominate the rest of 2021.

didnt read liquid will be eliminated by entropiq

2021-07-23 21:15

0/8 wtf mens((

BIG invite is a joke.. if they won esea premier last season, we will have 2 BIG in this tournament? Its unfair, if they played a tournament for a place on ESL Pro League and they did a patetic performance (tier 1 vs tier 2/3), why they get invited? Edit: i know, because of esl ranking, anyway if they are in position to get invited, why they played esea premier?

2021-07-23 18:52

Because they weren't sure they will be in top 10 at the moment invites would be sent?

2021-07-23 19:03

yeah esl have their partner teams, a complete joke, maybe you are right..

2021-07-23 19:07

no thank you will not watch any online events.

2021-07-23 23:48

Let's go Gambit! Even though EPL 14 is only this lineup's 4th big event ever, I'm confident top 5 IGL Nafany, top 5 AWPer Sh1ro, best Russian rifler Ax1Le, notorious interz and the most promising entry fragger Hobbit are going come in all guns blazing and lift the ESL Pro League Season 14 trophy! Sure, Gambit has star players like Navi does in Electronic or Vitality in Misutaa, but that does not matter in the slightest because Gambit has something no other contender team possesses; The Power of Friendship. Think about it. What has historically caused the downfall of legendary, era defining teams like Astralis, NIP and ENCE eSports? That's right, the lack of power of friendship. Just imagine how many more Majors Astralis could have won if instead of hard work they would have put more time and effort in to developing their friendship.

Many do not understand the genius logic behind a move like this, but let me tell you, underestimating nafany's fat brain is quite possibly the biggest mistake one can make in the esports space. There is no reason to think nafany's strategies coupled with the ingenious antics of Sh1ro, Ax1le, Interz,Hobbit and F1N along with their natural power of friendship wouldn't be enough for Gambit Esports to dominate the rest of 2021.
