The competition organizer projects that the tournament will be played from February 16 to 28, as if it were a "face-to-face competition", which will take place at a headquarters in Europe that has not yet been revealed. However, the LAN dispute is being widely considered for future 2021 tournaments, "if COVID-19 remains a major barrier to the security of our talent, players and employees".
 
The past IEM Katowice was the first tournament directly affected by the world crisis, having played the competition's playoffs with the arena empty. In the edition in question, Natus Vincere was the champion and took the trophy home. Since then, ESL itself has projected that ESL One Cologne and the IEM Global Challenge may return to LAN, but both have been made official in an online format.
