The Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 features a double-elimination group stage. The eight teams form two groups of four teams each and only the top two teams make it to the playoffs. With the winner getting half of the $200,000 prize pool, there’s a lot at stake in this tournament.
With Counter-Strike 2’s release, there has been an upheaval when it comes to the team rankings and performances. Teams are still undergoing roster changes and that impacts their overall performance and results. More recently, Fnatic parted ways with Mezii and fans can expect a few roster additions before the start of this event later this month.
