Luminosity Gaming, Team Liquid and CLG have been invited to compete in PGL Season 1's North American division.

At the start of the month, PGL announced the first edition of its global Counter-Strike league, featuring two divisions (for European and North American teams) and offline finals with $75,000 on offer.

The North American season will feature four teams, three of whom are invited by PGL, while the fourth side will be determined by online qualifiers. At the end of the regular season, the top team will secure a spot at the offline finals, from October 2-4 in Bucharest, where it will compete against three European sides.

It has now been revealed that the new Luminosity Gaming squad, previously known as Keyd Stars, have been invited to compete in the league, together with Team Liquid and CLG.
