PTG Database Analysis

United21 Season 56 ran online in Europe from September 26 to October 13. Liquipedia lists four GSL groups followed by double-elimination playoffs.[2][4]

The databases do not agree on the complete field: Liquipedia lists 16 teams, Profilerr 17, and RDY.gg 19. RDY.gg’s Group B listing calls Passion Academy “Passion UA AC”; other bracket and match records use “Passion Academy” for that group and playoff participant, so the labels are recorded as one team. RDY.gg also uses WOPA Esport, the former name of STATE Esport. WRAITH PCIFIC won the final 2–1. The remaining difference in entrant totals is unresolved.[2][3][4][6][7]

No edition-specific commercial partner was identified in the reviewed tournament listings. The reported prize pool was USD 10,000.[2]
