ESL has explained how the move ups and move downs in the ESL ESEA Pro League will work.

The online portion of the first season of the ESL ESEA Pro League is nearing its conclusion, with the tournament coming to a close with the offline finals, in Cologne, from July 2-5.

Eight teams - four from each Pro League division - will square off for the top prize of $100,000 at the event in Germany, which will be followed by the traditional promotion and relegation to determine the final participants in the second season.

The team sitting at the bottom of the Pro League table come the end of the season will automatically be relegated to the Premier division, whose winner will secure a berth in top division.

Teams ranked tenth and eleventh in the Pro League will take on the second and third-placed teams from the Premier division in a relegation stage to determine the final two teams in the next Pro League season.
