The organizers of ESL Pro League to reveal a new system of the group stage
A new system for creating the groups of league participants will be integrated in ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals.
Instead of seeding the participants according to the groups they took in regional leagues, ESL decided to give teams a possibility to select the opponents they don’t want to see in their groups and in this way to avoid matches with them in the group stage.

Fnatic have the privilege as the winners of European division in 5th and 6th season of ESL Pro League. They will be the first to make their choice and will move one of the team to another group. OpTic Gaming, who won in North American division, will be the second to choose.
The selection is scheduled for November 22.
Two groups come under the name «Red» (R) and «Yellow» (Y).
The selection will take place in the following order:
Y1 selects R2
R1 selects Y2
R2 selects Y3
Y2 selects R3
Y3 selects R4
R3 selects Y4
