Past Tournament

Last European Pro League Season 18 was won by GUN5 Esports , who didn't get an invitation this time, maybe they declined it or maybe they didn't send it to them. For them it was the first tournament from this series and they immediately took the first place, where they got $11,000 for the victory.

EPL S19 format

The tournament will start in the group stage from where the top two teams will advance to the playoffs. The European Pro League Season 19 playoffs will be played on a regular Double-Elimination grid, where a team will have the opportunity to lose 1 time. All matches at the tournament will be played in BO3 format, except for the final, which will be played in BO5 final.

Tournament favorites

At every tournament when the participants are announced, some tournament favorites appear at once, this one won't be different. Probable favorites will be Passion UA , despite the poor internet at the bootcamp they play confidently. TSM , who recently made a replacement for a younger player and Into the Breach , who have good players by name, but their results are not quite good.
