PTG Database Analysis

ESL Pro League Season 9 - Americas was the regional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive LAN league stage of the 2019 season, held from April 12 to May 23. The 16-team division used four round-robin groups followed by a second group stage; the group winners advanced to the season finals, so the Americas stage had no single division champion. ESL and ESEA are listed as organizers.[1][2]

Liquipedia identifies the host as Intel Esports Arena in Burbank. ESL’s partnership announcement says its North American studios had been renamed Intel Esports Arenas; PTG links that venue identity to the existing ESL Burbank Studios record.[1][4]

The event page lists Intel, Betway, Game Fuel, paysafecard and NEEDforSEAT. Betway’s 2019 announcement specifically includes Pro League Seasons 9 and 10, and ESL’s partner announcements identify Intel and paysafecard as league partners.[1][4][5][6]
