Group Stages for the ESL Pro League Season 19 have concluded with some top teams and a few underdogs who were great performers against some of the seasoned teams in the Counter-Strike esports scene.
A total of 16 teams made it to the Playoffs. Few of them secured a direct spot to the quarterfinals, while others will start from Round of 16 and Round of 12. Matches are set to take place from May 7 and will feature some of the fan favourites like Virtus.pro and Monte alongside veterans like G2 Esports and FaZe Clan.
Format
All matches will be single elimination best of three, while the grand finals will be best of five. Teams who qualified through the lower bracket and last-chance qualifiers will start from the Round of 16. These include eight teams from all four groups.
Winners of these Round of 16 matches will move to Round of 12 where they will face the losers of the upper bracket finals from four groups. The winners from the upper brackets will face the winners from Round 12. The winner of the ESL Pro League Season 19 will secure a spot in the IEM Cologne 2024.
