Tedd dives into the action-packed Stage 1 of the ESL Pro League Season 21, which ran from March 1–5 using a 16-team Swiss System format. He explains how all matches were best-of-three, and the top eight teams advanced to Stage 2. He shares his excitement over pleasant surprises like SAW, 3DMAX, GamerLegion, TYLOO, and MIBR, and discusses their potential for Stage 2, scheduled for March 7–16. Tedd anticipates intense matchups against returning powerhouses such as Spirit, Vitality, G2, Natus Vincere, and Liquid, who missed the recent PGL Cluj-Napoca.
