ESEA has revealed the full team list for the Premier divisions in Europe, North America and Australia.

In Europe, the biggest talking point is the absence of Virtus.pro. The Polish giants, who lost their place in the ESL Pro League after losing to PENTA in the relegation stage, have declined the chance to compete in the Premier division.

This is likely due to the fact that the current ESEA Premier season, called MDL Training Season, is unconnected to the Pro League following the recent adjustments to the relegation system. Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas's men will be back in the following Premier edition, which will have a direct move-up to the ESL Pro League Season 7.

The North American division will also consist of 24 teams, including ex-Pro League duo The Foundation and Rush - now playing as Muffin Lightning -, and Argentine side Miami Flamingos, who secured promotion from the Open division.
