 Season 21 Invite

ESEA-Invite Season 22 is the 21st iteration of an Invite Division in ESEA. It will start on the 19th of May, 2016 and continue until the 30th of August, 2016; which is also the conclusive date of Insomnia58.

Offseason changes

-bird noises'- long-time medic veteran, indust.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
-bird noises-

-bird noises- were the first ESEA-Invite team to make a roster change, dropping roamer Hellbent_ two weeks prior to the end of the ESEA-Invite Season 21 playoffs.[1] During the month long offseason the team trialled various different replacements for Hellbent before finally settling on Invite veteran boomer,[2] who was last seen in ESEA-I Season 15. Team captain Vand spoke of the underlying concerns of boomer's lengthy downtime in a TeamFortressTV interview, stating that boomer has "a great attitude towards teamwork and the game itself that is very similar to the rest of -bird noises-", and "[his attitude] was one of the most important things for us to consider while we were searching for new additions to the team".[2]

The addition of boomer also came the withdrawal of Linkuser,[2] who stepped in as scout for -bird noises- during the latter parts of the Season 21 group stage.[3] Linkuser opted to step down to focus on his real-life commitments, yet only five days later on May 4th corsa was brought in to replace him.[4] corsa, having previously played on notable Invite teams Strawberry Mangoes and froyotech, rounded out the -bird noises- roster for Season 22.

Elÿsian Fields

Elÿsian Fields, formerly known as The Bugs, parted ways with four players during the Season 21-Season 22 offseason. Scout newspeak, soldiers goldfish_ and Cole as well as demoman mausy were all dropped from the team's active roster in late April,[5] leaving only core players mu^ and Digi_ left. Be that as it may, the team was swift to replace their losses; bringing in FARNSWORTH, topshot, and, four days later, kuestif.[6][7]

Elÿsian Fields were still yet to bring in a second scout, however on May 6th the team's ESEA roster was emptied out bar mu^.[8] It is unknown whether the team has folded.

EVL Gaming

EVL Gaming has undergone a complete roster switchup after its previous team, captained by arekk, fully disbanded on the 3rd of May.[9] One day before, the aforementioned arekk and roamer botmode had made the decision to leave the team for various reasons;[10] with arekk having lost interest in competing[11][12] and botmode stepping down due to "scheduling conflicts".[10] The team made the conscious decision to disband after further time conflicts with their other scout, slemnish, along with pocket soldier aim resigning because of a lack of motivation also.[9] Nursey and Hassassin elected to recruit players for a seperate team, Luca Goers, choosing to discontinue their sponsorship with EVL and its partner Sloth E-Sports.[9]

Only two days had passed before EVL had found its next sponsorship team, headlined by the core of the ESEA-I Season 19 cafe monster in garbuglio (known then as PurpleShirt), highfive and zilly; as well as picking up Scizor and sen- from the previous season's Running with Scizors lineup.[13] delpo, an Invite newcomer joining from mid-table Intermediate team Don't Slip, was also picked up by the team.[13] In an interview, the now team captain garbuglio said EVL Gaming is "hoping to place at least 5th but definitely looking to achieve top 4".[13]

EVL TV have decided to once again sponsor an ESEA-Invite team, this time captained by garbuglio.

Season 22 will feature the return of legendary roamer, -blaze, for team froyotech.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
froyotech

froyotech, reigning champions from the previous season, gained considerable attention when they announced that six-season long scout clockwork would be retiring once again from serious Team Fortress 2 competition in favour of Overwatch.[14] Having retired initially at the end of ESEA Season 20 for the same reasons, he was replaced by his teammate of the same season, -blaze.[14] The addition of -blaze to the froyotech squad reacquires another member of their original two time world championship team. The provisional lineup for the team is to shift erstwhile roamer paddie to scout to succeed clockwork and make way for -blaze.

FROYO BLACK is an active-listed ESEA roster consisting of numerous retired Invite champions, primarily from the cores of High Rollers Gaming and the first rendition of froyotech. There have been no announcements from the team regarding their intentions for Season 22, but statements from b4nny and clockwork (the latter of whom is listed on the FROYO BLACK roster) suggest that FROYO BLACK aims to be a "no-scrim" team for ESEA-Invite, with a current confirmed roster of shade, duwatna, tagg and cyzer. On May 6th the official froyotech Twitter account, managed by shade, had its media changed to images of the FROYO BLACK logo.[15]

Luca Goers is a team made up of the remnants of the initial EVL Gaming team along with newcomers icTus on scout and bl4nk on pocket.[16] Both icTus and bl4nk are noted for their frequent PUG play, with bl4nk having also played across a multitude of previous ESEA-Invite teams such as WOOOPS, The Mad Men, and most recently backing up for Street Hoops eSports.[17] The team's medic and captain, Nursey, has continued to play on this same team throughout its ESEA-Open to Invite rise and is the only remaining member from their debut Invite season (known then as Getawhale Fanclub).[18]

There has been no formal statement from Luca Goers regarding their new team formation, the team still requires a roaming soldier to round out their roster. Players alec_, marmadukeGRYLLS and Connor_ have been speculated to be in contention for a place on the team.

Running with Scizors

Running with Scizors, a relatively consistent team in terms of results and rosters, made their first change of the offseason by letting scout sen- depart on the 10th of April.[19] Reportedly leaving to play with friends before joining Invite rivals EVL Gaming two weeks later, sen- was a continuous performer for the team and was vital to their 6th place success. After trialling with a handful of potential replacements, Running with Scizors settled on Sezco two weeks later on April 26th.[20] Sezco played out the previous season with 8th place disbanded team The Grime, but is also noted for his Season 15 spell with lost in translation (now RONIN gg) where the team ended up third in the peak of Sezco's TF2 career.

Potential participants

Traditionally, the Invite Division of ESEA will hold nine teams to compete in a double round robin group stage. Teams who competed in the previous ESEA-I season are automatically invited to compete, along with the winner of the previous ESEA-IM season. If there is a shortage of teams, an "Invite Poll" voted on by the community will decide which remaining teams will make up the next Invite season. The Invite Poll for Season 22 is scheduled for the 8th of May,[24] and with the high amount of roster changes and team folds throughout the Season 21-Season 22 offseason there are many Invite teams yet to be decided in the upcoming 22nd season.
