All matches are best-of-three series and each group takes place over a period of five days. The best team in the group stage advances directly to the quarterfinals. The next two teams move ahead to the round of 12. There is a clear and distinct advantage for any team that tops the group stage. 


The playoffs feature best of three series throughout. As one of the most prestigious tournaments in the CS: GO circuit, ESL Pro League prides itself on best-of-three series all across the event.
