Due to visa issues VG.CyberZen and BigGods have been replaced by Rogue and Muffin Lightning at the ESEA Season 23 Global Challenge. VG.CyberZen and BigGods earned their place at the ESEA Season 23 Global Challenge by winning their respective Open divisions in late November. However, both teams have run into visa issues and thus won't be able to attend the $50,000 event taking place in Burbank, California.
To replace the two teams, the organizers invited Rogue, who placed third in the European Premier division, and Muffin Lightning, who finished 5th-8th in North America. The following eight teams will take part in ESEA Season 23 Global Challenge from January 5th-8th:
