MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) October 21, 2019
Once again there will be two Invite Division regions comprised of 32 teams each, bringing ESL Pro League and major-level teams together with hot up-and-comers looking to break out at their expense. Both divisions will feature a number of teams returning from WINNERS League Season 2 alongside interesting newcomers.
They’ll face some tough new opponents this time, though. North American staple eUnited will look to start the Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir era strong after adding the ex-Cloud9 star in September. He’ll also be competing against former Ghost Gaming teammate Joshua “steel” Nissan, who has been playing alongside Ben’s Anime Team.The Americas division will be headlined by a number of top teams from last season. Previous winners Swole Patrol, who won Season 2 under the Lazarus Esports banner, will return for Season 3 alongside other strong performers such as ATK, Team Singularity, and INTZ Esports.
There are plenty of young teams looking to make a name in WINNERS League as well. The New England Whalers, Ascent Esports, and 7sins Esports are all organizations that could carve out a spot in the upper echelons of the region.
Epsilon Esports’ new Belgian lineup will look to keep its strong start going. Enduring French organization Team LDLC will join the fray with its retooled roster. DreamHack Showdown Valencia winners Besiktas Esports will look to establish itself beyond the scope of dedicated women’s events. The list goes on!The Europe division will be welcoming back a slew of Season 2 teams including the likes of Unique Team, PACT, and runners-up Nemiga Gaming. Some very exciting new additions will also be made for Season 3.
