ESL One Cologne moves to LANXESS Arena for 2021
ESL One Cologne, one of the most highly-anticipated Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) tournaments, will be making a big move in 2021. The event, traditionally held at the 15,000-seat LANXESS Arena, has been moved to the 20,000-seat indoor arena to accommodate the large number of esports fans.
The LANXESS Arena, located in Cologne, Germany, has been a long-standing venue for esports events. Its central location and excellent infrastructure make it a prime choice for hosting large-scale tournaments. ESL One Cologne is set to take place from July 15 to 18, and the venue change will allow even more fans to experience the intense CS:GO action live.
This move comes as no surprise, considering the continuous growth of the esports industry. With its ever-increasing popularity, it is essential to find venues that can accommodate the growing number of fans. The larger capacity of the new venue will ensure that esports enthusiasts can witness the matches in person, creating a more immersive and memorable experience.
Moreover, the 2021 edition of ESL One Cologne will mark the return of in-person tournaments after a year of online events due to the global pandemic. The LANXESS Arena’s spacious layout will allow for appropriate social distancing measures to be implemented to ensure the safety of all attendees.
ESL One Cologne has become a staple in the CS:GO esports calendar, attracting top-tier teams from around the world. The event’s move to the LANXESS Arena reflects the ambition to further elevate CS:GO tournaments and provide an unforgettable experience for both players and fans.
In recent years, ESL One Cologne has consistently delivered electrifying gameplay and intense competition. With the new venue offering a larger capacity, there will be increased opportunities for passionate fans to cheer on their favorite teams.
