JOTA had been a key player for Bravos and one of their best performers before the team disbanded earlier this month, averaging a 1.21 rating in 2021 and helping them become one of, if not the, best teams competing in South America as they clinched several titles on the local scene.

Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz and Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki have found a new home in Anonymo, joining the organization two weeks after exiting AGO. The rifle-AWP duo was key to AGO's success in 2021, averaging a 1.16 and 1.13 rating respectively, but decided against extending their contracts with "The Hawks" in order to explore their options. Anonymo have now completed their lineup, having benched Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun and Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk during the

After a full-length best-of-five grand final, Party Astronauts have defeated Extra Salt 3-2 (16-6 Inferno, 7-16 Overpass, 16-11 Ancient, 22-20 Nuke) to win ESEA Premier Season 38 North America, booking themselves a spot in ESL Pro League Season 15. The result breaks the 0-4 head-to-head record for Party Astronauts against Extra Salt, and adds to a disappointing string of results for the South African-North American combine, who missed out on a spot at the PGL Major Stockholm after they were eliminated from IEM Fall NA. It also marks Party Astronauts'

Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev is no longer a part of Complexity, the Dallas-based organization has announced, ending the 22-year-old's 21-month long tenure with the team and making him a free agent. The move comes after Complexity failed to qualify for PGL Major Stockholm via the Regional Major Ranking leaderboard, finding themselves eliminated from IEM Fall Europe in 17-20th place and firmly out of contention for a Major spot. The team's subsequent appearance in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown was also lacklustre as they narrowly fought past MIBR, only to be crushed
