Competitions will be held in five disciplines: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Hearthstone, Clash Royale, and Warcraft III: Reforged. The teams from Kuban State University, Moscow Power Engineering Institute, Far Eastern Federal University, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Tyumen State University, ITMO University and North Caucasian Federal University made it to the final part.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the competition organizers transferred the league finals online and changed the rules. To avoid unfair play, eSportsmen will play with their webcams turned on and will be in a voice online chat.

This year the league will have a new champion. The three-time winner – the team of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University – did not qualify for the final part of the competition.

The fourth season of the All-Russian eSports Student League was divided into three stages: regional, zonal and final. In total, 6,589 students from 254 educational institutions performed at the tournament. The championship is supported by a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society, provided by the Presidential Grants Fund.
