After the conclusion of all regional qualifiers, the full list of participants for ESL Pro League Season 22 is finally set. The tournament will bring together 24 teams from around the world, competing for a prestigious title, a hefty prize pool, and valuable ranking points.
Ukraine on the Big Stage
This season, three Ukrainian teams will compete in ESL Pro League:
- NAVI, who received a direct invite;
- B8, who made it through the European qualifier;
- and TNL (Team Next Level), who also earned their spot via the qualifiers.
This is a significant moment for the Ukrainian scene — it’s rare to see three representatives from our country at a tournament of this caliber. Each team has its own ambitions and is ready to show their best against the world’s strongest opponents.

How Will EPL Affect the Starladder Budapest Major Invites?
Despite its importance, the main stage of ESL Pro League S22 will not influence the invite distribution for the Starladder Budapest Major, as it finishes on October 12, while Major invites will be determined on October 6.
Instead, the first stage of EPL, scheduled for September 27 to October 1, will play a key role in determining who gets invited. This is when B8 and TNL will take the stage — and it’s their chance to earn the points needed to qualify for the most important tournament of the season.
