Due to the ongoing global health dynamics, ESL Pro League Season 12 will be hosted online in five regional divisions across the globe. The divisions from Season 11 (Europe and North America) will be extended by South America, Asia, and Oceania to guarantee all teams who owned a spot for Season 11 but couldn't participate as well as the teams qualifying through the promised special qualifier to compete in Season 12. The remaining teams were invited based on the World Ranking end of July, which included all competitions that were completed before the summer break.
