Ben Lyons Senior Editor 23 april 2021

ESL has recently released a blog post detailing its plans for the next few major events coming up. While the next two, up to IEM Summer concluding on June 13 will remain as online tournaments, the organiser has stated that it is looking to return to a "controlled studio environment" starting with ESL One Cologne on July 6.

This tournament marks the first step back to normality for the organiser, with following events also planned to be studio events, until IEM Winter, which is hoping to welcome a live audience on December 2.

The blog post also details how many teams will participate in each tournament, as well as the prize pool, so if you aren't all that familiar with the upcoming ESL calendar, make sure to take a look at the link above.
