ESL released the seedings for ESL Pro League Season 24, with the group stage set to run in a Swiss format. Organisers had each of the 16 teams rate potential opponents, discarded extreme scores, and used the averages to assign seeds.

The seeding changes moved Vitality up two places to second and Aurora up three to seventh, while MOUZ and 9z dropped two slots. Under the 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 scheme, initial matchups include Falcons–TYLOO, MOUZ–M80, Legacy–PVISION, FURIA–BB Team, Aurora–9z, Spirit–ShindeN, Vitality–1win, and crucially G2–NAVI. Match times will be published later by ESL.
