Teams for ESEA S25 Premier set

5-6-2017 20:49

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.

Kinguin to compete in Premier, while Virtus.pro rejected the invite

Kinguin, the other team to be relegated from Pro League Season 5, have agreed to take part in ESEA Premier, joining 23 other sides, including big names likes Gambit, FlipSid3 and Space Soldiers.

Below you can find the full team list for the European ESEA Premier division:

Epsilon	Playing Ducks LN
Bpro	PRIDE
FlipSid3	ALTERNATE aTTaX
Spirit	Planetkey
Gatekeepers	North Academy
Tricked	PENTA
fnatic Academy	WySix
Space Soldiers	pro100
ex-DarkPassage	Team123
Fury	SkitLite
Gambit	Nexus
Kinguin	iGame.com

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.

The full team list for ESEA Premier North America looks as follows:

ex-Synthetik	FGE
h00liGaNz	CLG Academy
FRENCH CANADIANS	Eanix
Miami Flamingos	Denial
Prospects	BiG MiSTAKE
The Foundation	Rise Nation
RONIN	xoxo
ANTI ECO	Blight
Beacon	Muffin Lightning
Phoenix	Mask Off
Guerrilla Tactics	Mythic
Ajax	subtLe

The Australian Premier division, which kicked off on Monday with a clash between Corvidae and Masterminds, will continue to feature just 17 teams, including Dark Sided, Chiefs and Immunity.

The following teams will compete in the Australian Premier division:

Dark Sided	Athletico
Tainted Minds	Skyfire

2017-06-05 20:53

RIP Virtus.Premier

2017-06-05 20:54

Compared to EU, Premier in North America this season is pretty garbo. The discrepancy is probably the worst it has been.

We have a very competitive premier division and even some well known good teams in main.

2017-06-05 22:51

Agreed

2017-06-06 04:33

2017-06-05 21:10

Epsilon <3

while Virtus.pro reject the invite

GO MF

I see more convincing teams on EU and Australia than USA. Shame.

2017-06-05 21:15

Imperial? outlaws? :(

2017-06-05 21:18

Outlaws will play in ESEA Main. Imperial (as MK) line-up were in Premier last season, but they didn't show in a single match and got kicked, so now they have to make again from ESEA Open, but they aren't there this season. (I guess there's no invites for this type of leagues)

2017-06-05 21:43

damn :(

2017-06-05 23:14

2017-06-05 21:21

You see the massive skill difference between eu and na.premier....... Space soldiers would easily rek everybody like 16-5 in NA premier! Also in NA premier im seeing mythic grabbing no1 spot unchallenged and i hope for some teams to merge players and make another solid premier level team with players like emode monte subroza kiko and xp3

2017-06-05 21:35

EU premier is stronger than NA pro league lul

2017-06-05 22:01

no joke eu main would be competitive vs NA pro league. extatus, esuba, k29, outlaws, bd, dignitas, vega, singularity, spartak, rctic, crowns, and gameplaydna could all probably avoid relegation in NA epl if they were to compete.

2017-06-06 01:18

Mythic didnt even win Main lel.

2017-06-05 22:17

Gambit Penta or SS will take this ( i think PKD can uppset )

tfw I confused planetkey with playing ducks and was about to get on a huge essay on how they would need espiranto to stay to upset this

2017-06-05 22:37

If i understand correctly the team had disagreements with Espiranto while playing in cevo main Double-Elimination bracket, long story short he did not perform in those stressful games and got kicked so RIP

2017-06-06 00:36

Wait where is Virtus.Premier?

2017-06-05 21:48

Read the article and then you will know.

2017-06-05 22:08

LUL I m idiot thanks mahhh

2017-06-05 22:11

Good to see that NA is full of half-completed rosters.

2017-06-05 22:12

YEEY finally nexus~

Why is there no esea premier asia, most of the best asian teams have done more shit than any of the best australian teams.

2017-06-05 23:02

DECLINED lool

2017-06-05 23:04

Kinguin to compete in Premier, while Virtus.pro reject the invite. Good decision VP. Fuck online games vs. tier 3 teams. Only Lan and only cash :DD

EZ WySix, EZ ZywOo

2017-06-06 00:06

Gambit actually fucking win this one.

2017-06-06 00:44

ez 4 ZywOo

2017-06-06 00:56

so does this mean VP will never be in EPL again?

2017-06-06 00:57

they can compete other seasons of premier and advance, this season DOES NOT GIVE QUALIFY, so even if they did compete they wouldnt get chance to get back to epl again

2017-06-06 20:49

NA Premier doens't seem hard like previous one, if flamingos don't qualify for playoffs should disband

2017-06-06 01:01

Previous NA Premier was hard?

2017-06-06 04:35

Splyce, Enigma, Ghost, also eUnited lost part of roster i see only good teams this season gonna be CLG Academy (Premier Rejects), Rise Nation (Eclipse) and maybe Mask Off and RONIN

2017-06-06 07:49

eu premier is fucking stacked meanwhile na premier is filled with shitty teams that wouldn't make it past eu main (for the best ones) and intermediate (for the worst ones)

2017-06-06 01:04

Ez for Gambit

2017-06-06 05:10

This season is one of the worst NA premier skill wise which is kinda a good thing meaning NA pro league has better teams. Rise Nation should steamroll this season.

2017-06-06 06:38

Slovenian team made it into ESEA Premiere lol

2017-06-06 06:54

VP so cocky lmao

2017-06-06 08:33

I guarantee you half of us would make teams better than some NA or AU teams there in premier.

2017-06-06 09:38

3rd time wildcard??????????

2017-06-06 12:20

Where is Asia?

2017-06-06 12:40

As long as vp gets an invite to LAN. And they perform on LAN they will keep getting invites. I don't see them motivated at all to play online. I don't remember the last time I watched them play online and actually care enough.
