While it appears that ESEA will maintain the current structure of three divisions for North America, league admins have warned that the season is not guaranteed to happen even though it has been announced.

Teams new to Open are free to register now . Existing teams will have to wait for the conclusion of Season 21 before their rosters are unlocked and they are moved to the appropriate division for next season. All teams will have until May 18th, 2016 at 11:59pm CDT to register and pay league fees for six players on their roster in order to ensure their spot in the upcoming season.

ESEA has announced Season 22 of its league, provisionally scheduled to begin May 22nd, 2016 and end August 30th, 2016.

I'm pretty sure a couple people, especially in IM from what I remember, relied on the deadline extension for the past couple seasons it has been happening consistently. Be careful this time and get your fees paid up before the listed deadline. Pointing these posts out on here just in case...

9 #9 Dreamboat 34 Frags – + With the addition of the stream list in game, as well as with both EVL and the Spire providing casts of IM, it would be really nice if this season all IM players used the name they're most commonly known by in ESEA. Most players do a pretty good job of it, but it can be a pain sometimes trying to figure out and remember who is which aliased player. It would be cool if open did it too, at least for playoffs, but I dont know if either org have plans to cover open.

15 #15 Phi cp_sunshine, cp_cardinal 29 Frags – + Expect a new version of Reckoner to come out before the Grand Finals of s21, with lots of good changes. It may or may not be ready for an ESEA launch, but that's up to the players and their feedback. And the admins who may or may not add it in a map vote. We'll see.
