Format & Seeding

Team selected seeding & Live ratings

Stage 1, Stage 2 & Playoffs will use seeding in the following ways:

  • Team Selected Seeding will set the baseline ratings to create seeds and produce the opening matchups in Stage 1 and Stage 2
  • All other Swiss rounds will use Live Ratings, which will be dynamically updated after each match
  • Seeding for the playoffs will be using the results of Stage 2 and the corresponding Live Ratings to break any ties (e.g. the two teams with a 3-0 record)

One Tour. one story.

The ESL Pro Tour is our vision for esports. One open ecosystem connecting all of ESL and DreamHack’s competitions around the world. One world for leagues and tournaments. One path from rookie amateur to global icon. A place where everybody can be somebody.

What is the ESL Pro League?

A global Counter-Strike league, the pathway for many aspiring teams to the upper echeleion of competition. 3 Weeks of non-stop Counter-Strike action, where 32 of the best teams in the world will give it their all to lift the trophy and be crowned champions in Malta.

FaqsESL Pro League explained

No, unfortunately there will be no live audience this time round. Season 21 will take place privately in a studio from Stockholm Sweden.

Following the initial Team Selected Seeding in Stage 1 and Stage 2, teams will be assigned ELO-like ratings corresponding to their seed positions, with higher seeds receiving more points. Each Swiss round will then be seeded according to the teams' current ratings, which will be dynamically updated after each match. Teams will be paired based on their updated ratings, with the restriction that no rematches will occur.

The objective of live ratings is to continuously adjust team rankings to more accurately reflect their current performance. For example, if the #16 seed defeated the #1 seed, this result suggests the #16 team is performing above expectations, and their rating will be adjusted accordingly.
