ESL and DreamHack announced schedule for 2021
The LAN-finals of 13th and 14th seasons of EPL will be held in Malta!
ESL and DreamHack announced a detailed schedule of CS:GO tournaments for 2021, as well as the changes in the format.
Currently, the championships are held for seven to nine days straight without breaks and days off, but starting from next year they will be divided into two game weeks: the first (Thursday to Sunday) — for matches in the group stage, and the second (weekends) — for matches in the playoff stage. This distribution should ease the stress on the players and give them more time for rest.
During the breaks between the stages, the teams that have moved to the decisive stage of the tournament will be able to stay at the mini-bootcamp or fly back home for a few days.
Furthermore, ESL has announced the construction of its own studio for Pro Tour tournaments, in which teams will be able to compete in LAN-format in coronavirus conditions. We are looking forward to the start of the new competitive season! #navination
