What happened to the player break?

I thought there was meant to be a professional play break after the summer major, until usually an event like Bounty, to kickstart the new season. However, I saw that XSE Pro League is starting in a few days, a tournament with a 1m prize pool and T1 organisations attending. How come these tournaments are being held during this time? Isn't the player break something that was introduced in (afaik) 2015-2016 to you know... allow players a break throughout the year? Wouldn't ESIC do anything about this? Seems kinda tough.
