ESL have announced important changes to the format of their marquee Pro League, including a slot expansion and relegation changes. With Season 3 of the ESL Pro League winding down and with its $512,000 finals in London fast approaching, ESL have looked into adjusting the format of the league overall in order to accommodate the growing list of competitive teams in CS:GO. In a new announcement released today, the German-based organisation mention that the next season of the Pro League will have 14 slots instead of 12 slots in order to make space for a growing slate of high profile teams; the increased amount of regular season slots will also mean more participants in the Season 4 finals, about which information is still forthcoming.
Due to the slot expansion, ESL will implement a new relegation system effective immediately:
The changes to relegation will undoubtedly have a strong effect on the current season of the Pro League, as both teams in danger of relegation and teams doing well in ESEA Premier fight to retain a spot in the million dollar league. stich writes for HLTV.org and can be found on Twitter |
