Aurora have been invited to participate in the MESA Nomadic Masters Spring, the event's organisers have announced. They will replace Apeks, whose future remains unclear after the entire roster was put up for transfer.

Apeks announced on May 1 that they had decided to begin a "comprehensive rebuild plan" with the aim to achieve long-term success. The team is still competing in ESL Challenger League Season 47 Europe, in which it will face System5 on May 14 in stage 2's low seed group.
