EPL 15 is supposed to be held as a LAN in Malta, where the company tried to organize a CS:GO event but was unable due to travel restrictions. Earlier ESL extended their agreement with permanent EPL members until 2025. On top of that, ESL and FACEIT were merged and acquired by Savvy Gaming Group, an investment company backed by the Saudia Arabian government's Public Investment Fund.
