The announcement from ESL also revealed the lineup of teams for the North American Pro League:
OpTic Gaming Team EnVyUs Team Liquid Str8 Rippin Luminosity Gaming TMMT Crowd Pleasers Evil Geniuses
In a surprising turn of events, the eighth seeded team, Allegiance, disbanded and lost their spot this season. In the wake of these events, the final team set to compete this season will be decided at the NA Last Chance Qualifier.
The top six NA teams will compete at Finals at DreamHack Atlanta at the end of the season. With OpTic returning to the HCS Pro League as the 2017 World Champions, it’ll be interesting to see how the season plays out!
