ESL Pro League Season 19: How to Watch
Majority of this tournament will have two matches being played at the same time, this means that ESL will be running two simultaneous streams, Primary and Secondary.
Both broadcasts will be hosted on streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube, in multiple languages like English, Chinese, and Russian.
This is one of the longest-running CS2 tournaments in the world and is held in high-regard due to its expansive format which allows teams to play hard without having to worry about elimination, with each team getting at least three chances to redeem themselves.
It will be interesting to see if MOUZ will be able to hold on to its throne and the titles, or does a new contender stand up to the challenge.
