ESEA has announced changes to the relegation system that is in place in the ESL ESEA Pro League.

The second edition of the ESL ESEA Pro League will come to an end on December 13 with the season finals, which will be held inside ESL's studios in Burbank, Los Angeles.

Last season, the bottom placed side from the Pro League automatically moved down to ESEA Premier, whose champion secured a spot in the $250,000 competition.

This season, however, the relegation system comes with a twist: while the team who finishes last in the Pro League is still relegated, their spot will not necessarily be taken by the winner of the Premier division. Instead, ESEA and ESL may choose a wildcard team to replace the relegated side.
