Following the epic conclusion of IEM Cologne 2021 a week ago, competitive CS:GO is diving into the coveted player break.

So far, as you’ve already found out, the ESL Pro League looks to be held online. Beyond this, there are a few more details to digest:

• Season 14 will be played very similarly to Season 13 – with all 24 teams competing within European spots
• Dates include 16th August up to 12th September
• 13 teams will be permanent partner teams
• 6 teams qualifying based on ESL World Ranking
• 5 teams qualifying based on ESEA S37 EU and S36 NA Events

We would have loved to continue on LAN, but due to uncertainty surrounding COVID-related travel restrictions, #ESLProLeague S14 will take place online with all 24 teams competing from their homes and boot camp locations within Europe.

Until then, we have to simply wait for the action to come to us. Teams will look to try and start fresh after the player break, while still fighting for seeds at the PGL Major.
