The ESL Pro League XI is the 11th instalment of the infamous CS:GO league, pitting the 24 best teams in the world against each other. This year marks new changes coming into the structure: the regional divisions are no more and the event is condensed over a much shorter 4-week period, ending with a live three-day final event.
The teams will be split into four groups of six teams and compete in a Bo3 round-robin format. The group winners will compete for a spot in the semi-finals, while the 2nd and 3rd seeds will face off in a single-elimination playoffs bracket. The season champions will be crowned in a Bo5 grand final played in an arena location.
