Recall that earlier ESL went for drastic changes in the format of the Pro League. Starting from the ninth season, all matches in the European and North American division will be held in the format of a LAN tournament. The European region is represented by 16 teams, which were divided into four groups. The competition now includes two stages.
In the first of them, four teams in each group will play with each other in a circular system, the winner will go further, and the loser will have to leave the qualifying round. The rest of the teams will go to the second stage, where the fights will take place in two groups and two teams from each group will enter the LAN-finals. We hope that NAVI players will find themselves in the LAN-finals of the ESL Pro League S9 after the first qualifying stage and will continue to prepare for other championships! #NAVINATION
