PTG Database Analysis
ESL Pro League Season 13 was the 13th edition of the Counter-Strike league operated by ESL FACEIT Group. Its 24-team field competed from March 8 to April 11, 2021, for a reported USD 750,000 prize pool. HEROIC defeated Gambit Esports in the final.[1][5]
The season was initially planned to move from online group play to a studio playoff in Malta. ESL later kept the playoffs online because travel and quarantine restrictions prevented the LAN plan from proceeding. Liquipedia and HLTV list the event’s final playing region as Europe, online; PTG therefore records no physical host venue or city for this edition.[3][5]
Liquipedia lists Intel as the season sponsor. The relationship table records the organizer, game, Europe competition region and all 24 teams using their canonical PTG pages.[1][4]
