FaqsESL Pro League explained

Currently, 15 teams jointly govern and participate in revenue for ESL Pro League. They also have long-term participation slots which protect them from getting relegated.

Yes, ESL Pro League is open for everyone to play in regardless of partner status. We believe in an open ecosystem, where every new talent has a direct path to play on the world’s biggest stages.
Seeding for the groups of ESL Pro League is done based on the ESL World Ranking and independent of partner status.
The partner teams get a number of slots in ESL Pro Tour events if they are ranked top 20 in the world. A 16 team event for example has 6 slots for partner teams.
