Full info: ESLGaming.com

The 2020-21 ESL Pro Tour's summer season is set to kick off, with qualifiers set to be held between June 17-21. Due to Covid-19, the ESL Pro Tour format has been changed to center around six regional "DreamHack Masters" tournaments that will be played online (full ESL Pro Tour revamp announcement). While the ESL Pro Tour has seen GSL tournaments and IEM Katowice take place, DreamHack Masters Summer marks the beginning of 'foreigner' events in the 2020-21 season.

...so there is some consolation dineros for those unfortunate "close but no cigar" players? That's kind of nice. It should add to the participation and the excitement of the last qualifier.

I realy like that Addition.
There is 100% going to be a Player super close to qualify in all 3 of them (Kind of like Neeb for TSL ) Who then gets at least a bit for all the trouble
There s probably also a compete underdog doing a mirracle run in qualifier 1 or 2 and dropping out early in #3 but no System is perfect

Very much looking forward to see this get going. But this year, because of the changes made due to covid19, it's actually not a foreigner circuit anymore. Non-Koreans will take 10 spots at the Season Finals, i.e. this years equivalent of previous years WCS Circuit Championships, while Koreans take 6 spots.

In effect, the changes made due to covid19 have removed the old region lock of Korea and replaced it with a system of many regions. I think this is a great development and I hope we see ESL retain this system in the 2021-22 EPT, which will hopefully feature offline events again. A system of many regions, each of which sends its best players to the season finals, seems like a great way to ensure that the best players in the world participate in the finals while retaining a way to foster development in all regions (ESL can adjust prize pools and player spots in regional qualifiers to achieve the latter).

This was the goal of the old WCS Challenger system and still held true of the original blueprint for DH SC2 Masters where EPT had offline events, we had online qualifiers split by 6 regions that distributed prize pool and EPT points, and seeded automatically into the third group stage of the live event. The makeup of the Global Finals is a little different with the updates but in either scenario the support for local regions which then send to a total global (offline or online) event to compete together in a big picture sense is similar.

Yeah, biggest differences now are that regional qualifiers are way more important due to ping problems in global online events and the Addition of the Kr slots in the season finals

True enough, but the inclusion of the Koreans is a big change.

I would like to see some old fire signing up, like Naniwa or Stephano, even Polt. I see they play now, it would be awesome!

Yeah, Stephano had a mirracle run last Year in WCS Autum.
I don t expect the other 2 to show up in any way. Haven t seen Naniwa play in a tournament in forever. And Polt is only Streaming TFT at the moment and was strugeling in mediocresy on Eu ladder before..
Would most likely be still enough to qualify for the NA Major though, but I d be supried if he d even get past top 8 tbh...
A d I m not sure, if Polt would be happy with such a result, so pretty unlikely that he even tries then
