ESL Pro League Season 11 groups announced

The groups for ESL Pro League Season 11 have been announced.

ESL Pro League Season 11 will be made up of four groups that house six teams. The group stage will begin on March 16. The group stage of the league will all be best-of-three matches in a round-robin format. The winners of each group will advance to a play-in to help obtain better seeding in playoffs. Second and third-place teams will move on to play as in a separate bracket.

Here are the ESL Pro League Season 11 groups:

Group A

• Astralis
• Vitality
• NiP
• ENCE
• GODSENT
• Sharks

Group B

• Natus Vincere
• fnatic
• FURIA
• Heroic
• Complexity
• forZe

Group C

• mousesports
• Liquid
• 100 Thieves
• Virtus.pro
• Renegades
• BOOM

Group D

• G2
• Evil Geniuses
• FaZe
• OG
• North
• TYLOO

Group D appears to be the group of death in this pool drawing. With IEM Katowice 2020 grand-finalists G2, North America's second-best team in Evil Geniuses, a FaZe chock-full of talent, an OG that stunned everyone at BLAST Premier Spring Series, a North led by Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen and the best team from Asia in TYLOO, this group will definitely be one to watch. 

ESL Pro League Season 11 kicks off on March 16 with ENCE versus Sharks as the opening game.
