ESEA has announced the team list for its upcoming ESEA Invite Season 12 featuring the usual $18,600 prize pot for Counter-Strike 1.6

Apart from Check Six who announced their disbandment just days ago, all the other top teams from the previous season including the other five teams who made the LAN finals are all once again in the league.

ESEA removes the bottom two teams from Invite each season, leading to INC's and DESiRE's removement. Both priori and Black&Yellow also died during season eleven while Check Six folded meaning the league needed four new teams to fill the gap.

Will swag defend his ESEA championship this season? 

A Group of Good Friends, Modus and District7 were initially invited to join the division by the ESEA league admins. Death Clutch then made it in through a fan based voting. Finally, upon Check Six's demise, DESiRE who finished second in fan voting were re-instated in ESEA Invite for season 12.

Most notable change in rosters is Braxton "swag" Pierce's disappearance from reigning champions Maximum Effort's roster. You can find the other teams' rosters by clicking on their profiles here.
