TCL 2020: The Pandemic Season
The Turkish Championship League (TCL) 2020 Season was heavily impacted by the global pandemic, but it produced some of the most memorable rosters in the region's history, highlighting intense rivalries and massive superteams.
2020 Format Rules
- League Size: 9 Teams in Winter (
Galatasaray Esports was temporarily suspended), and 10 Teams in Summer. - Regular Season: Double Round Robin format for both splits. All matches are Best-of-One (Bo1).
- Playoffs: The Top 6 teams advance to a single-elimination bracket. The 1st and 2nd seeds receive a direct bye to the Semifinals. All playoff matches are Best-of-Five (Bo5).
- International Qualification: The Winter Champion would have qualified for MSI 2020, but the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. The Summer Champion qualified for the 2020 World Championship Play-In Stage in Shanghai, China.

Worlds 2020 (Shanghai, China)
Turkey was represented by Papara SuperMassive at the World Championship. Bolstered by the incredibly strong Korean jungle/support duo of KaKAO and SnowFlower, SUP dominated their Play-In group stage, famously defeating Europe's 
MAD Lions. However, they were eventually eliminated in a 3-0 Knockout Stage series by the CIS representatives, 
Unicorns of Love, falling just one step short of the Main Event.
