ESL One Cologne 2020

Aug 18, 2020Aug 30, 2020

One of the most iconic tournaments of all time, ESL One Cologne, is on its way once again. All of the top teams will attend this event that will take place in late august.

Unfortunately, it will be played from the comfort of the players own homes, and not in the famous Lanxess Arena, due to Covid-19. This means that all the great teams will still be participating, but divided into 4 regions (Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania)

But no matter what, the prestige that comes with winning a tournament such as ESL One Cologne, together with a prize pool of 1 million USD, will make this a very interesting tournament to follow.

KRIMZ is an absolute legend when it comes to big tournaments. He will always come in clutch for his team, and he can easily get over 30 frags in 1 game, so he could be crucial for Fnatic's success in this tournament.

s1mple and electronic is one of the most lethal duos you can find in Counter-Strike right now. These two players could single-handedly carry NAVI to a victory here at ESL Cologne 2020.

ropz is still a young talent in the mousesports roster, and even though mousesports have had some mediocre performances in the last couple of months, this guy could easily turn things around for mousesports.

Magisk is still an insanely good player for Astralis, despite the team making several roster changes. So watch out for Magisk at ESL Cologne 2020!
