ESL Pro League Season 14: Scores and schedule

Twenty-four of the best CS:GO teams in the world will battle for their share of $750,000 in ESL Pro League season 14 starting on Monday, Aug. 16.

Stream

ESL Pro League season 14 will be broadcast on ESL’s three Twitch channels since the event will feature simultaneous matches during the group stage. You won’t want to miss any of the action on the main broadcast, second channel, and third channel.

Format

The 24 teams have been split into four groups of six and all teams will play each other once in the group stage. All of the matches are going to be best-of-three series. The winner of each group will move straight into the quarterfinals, while the second and third-placed teams will advance to the round of 12.

The playoffs will use a single-elimination bracket and all matches will be best-of-threes, except the grand finals, which will play out as a best-of-five series. There will be no simultaneous matches aside from the last day of each group.

ESL Pro League season 14 will run from Aug. 16 to Sept. 12. The winner will earn $175,000, the runners-up will take home $60,000, and the semifinalists will earn $30,000 each.

Key storylines

It’ll be fun to watch teams that will be debuting a new lineup in ESL Pro League season 14 since there have been plenty of roster changes during the summer player break. Seven of the 24 teams competing in the tournament made at least one change for the second part of the 2021 season. Fnatic has transitioned to an international lineup with the signings of ALEX and mezii to replace Maikil “Golden” Selim and Jesper “JW” Wecksell and the addition of former Complexity coach keita, which will see former coach Andreas Samuelsson take on a more managerial role within the organization.

Complexity hired peacemaker to replace keita and signed es3tag to fill the void created by the benching of William “RUSH” Wierzba. Astralis once again has a six-man roster after the organization added the young Danish AWPer Lucky and Heroic has parted ways with its coach Nicolai “HUNDEN” Petersen since he allegedly shared the team’s strats with other parties ahead of IEM Cologne. The Danish tactician will also face a “legal process” in Denmark.

Evil Geniuses saw its in-game leader, Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz, step down from the active roster as he isn’t mentally ready for more international travel. The North Americans will temporarily use daps, their coach, in place of stanislaw. BIG moved İsmailсan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş to the bench and signed former North Danish rifler gade, who also communicates in German. Bad News Bears got a big firepower upgrade since junior will be playing for them on loan from FURIA. He’ll take the place of Peter “ptr” Gurney, who retired to pursue a career in poker.
