Party Astronauts revived and back in action
ESEA admin for ESL Challenger League North America, Zyrus "Osodank" Bechstein, has confirmed the addition of the Party Astronauts squad to the list of rosters competing in Season 45 of the league.
For some days it has been speculated which team would occupy the last spot in ECL S45, but this confirmation from a tournament admin settles it.
Party Astronauts' return has been teased on Twitter, either by the official team account or by the players themselves, such as Wesley "viz" Harris posting a picture of the team's hoodie.
The return of Party Astronauts will see some roster changes, as Joseph "muenster" Lima, the former coach, is staying with Evil Geniuses, Jonathan" djay" Dallal is representing ATK at the moment, and Jonathan "Jonji" Carey has announced he is taking an indefinite break from the game. Despite the changes, the core of the former team remains the same with viz, Ben "ben1337" Smith, and Josh "PwnAlone" Pigue.
It is very probable that Khizar "Momo" Rehman will stay with the former EG White squad, which leaves only one spot open. That last spot is not known yet but there are some ECL-caliber players looking for teams, such as Michael "Swisher" Schmid, and Spencer "Pugg" Moore.
Party Astronauts are joining Group B, alongside MIBR, ATK, Strife, Vendetta, Detonate, Limitless, and Take Flyte. ESL Challenger League Season 45 North America is set to begin on April 11th.
