Since the last big stage in 2019, ESL Pro League has been on a journey – testing new ideas, experimenting with different formats, and evolving into the ultimate Counter-Strike show… seriously though, does anybody actually read these? I spend a lot of time working on these little bits of text on our websites and sometimes it feels like no one even notices… guys, if you’re reading this right now can you tweet @ESLCS with ‘oven pizza then bed’?
