Already today, the main phase of the ESL Polish Championship begins, during which the 12 best teams from all over the country will compete for PLN 100,000.
New season, new changes
Significant changes have been made to the organization of this year’s spring tournament in the competition format. Not 10 but as many as 12 teams will compete for the championship, which will be divided into 2 groups, in which each team will face their rivals twice in BO1 format. The best three teams from each group will advance to the play-offs.
As in the autumn edition of the ESL Polish Championship in 2021, the prize pool is PLN 100,000, and in addition to it, the winners will be able to enjoy the title of ESL Polish Champion, which provides the opportunity to participate in the ESL Pro League Conference Stage tournament . The ESL makes every effort to ensure that each edition of the ESL Polish Championship gives the winners the opportunity to develop and participate in the tournaments on the international arena.
