Triumph to skip MDL Season 34; AA invited as replacement team for Swole Identity

Triumph opted out of the training season due to concerns over participating in the Global Challenge at the same time.

Dust2.us has learned that Triumph will not be participating in ESEA MDL Season 34, instead choosing to dedicate their time to prepare for the postponed ESEA MDL Season 33 Global Challenge. Additionally, in order to fill the vacancy left by Swole Identity disbanding, ESEA have invited AA to compete in the league.

As per ESEA's post regarding the decision to postpone the Global Challenge, Triumph will not be penalized for their decision, with the team being free to compete in ESEA MDL Season 35 in the event they fail to qualify to ESL Pro League Season 12. This creates a large gap in Triumph's calendar as outside of the ESL One: Road to Rio, the team currently have no events scheduled until the Global Challenge.

The change to the team list has also granted AA a second chance after falling in Relegation while having to use two stand-ins. Both AA and Thunder Logic ended their Season 33 Relegation run in 5-6th place, but the former team were awarded the spot as a result of having a better record during the Season 33 regular season.

With these changes, ESEA MDL Season 34 now features:

United States Bad News Bears Brazil oNe
United States Under 21 United States Chaos
United States Rugratz United States Mythic
United States Recon 5 United States Keep the Comms Up
United States Monstars United States Big Frames
Canada District 7 United States New England Whalers
Canada Swedish Canadians Infinity
United States ETHEREAL Canada blood, sweat, and tears
United States Trivium United States AA
United States Buffdaddy's Paypal Team  

With the list of teams seemingly finalized, ESEA MDL Season 34 is set to get underway on April 27th.
