Due to visa issues on VG.CyberZen and Bravado's side, the two teams will be replaced by ALTERNATE aTTax and Crowns at the ESEA Season 22 Global Challenge, taking place from August 27-28.

Bravado have attempted to get visas approved ever since the tournament was announced, they were however unable to sort them out in time due to the Polish embassy's lack of communication, Roberto "⁠blackpoisoN⁠" Dall'Occo revealed to HLTV.org.

Yeah, most of these teams are shit (although I think losing Bravado was prolly an upgrade). MK is prolly gonna run away with it. Echo Fox has a chance, same with Alternate Attax. ENCE might have a slight chance but I think it is doubtful without Allu. CyberZen would have also had a decent chance if they were there, however I think MK would still be the big favorite going in.
