ESL announce ESL Impact League Season 7 invites
ESL have announced the invite for ESL Impact League Season 7, with three squads claiming invites to the North American division of the league. With that, FlyQuest RED, Shimmer and Lumen have picked up direct invites while the five remaining spots in the league will go to the open qualifiers.
FlyQuest RED earned their spot in the league thanks to finishing the NA division of the league in first place while Shimmer and Lumen have inherited Imp Pact and FLUFFY MAFIA's spots, respectively.
With this being the final season of ESL Impact League before invites transition to the Valve Regional Standings (VRS) Lumen should be thankful for the invite as their entirely European lineup would have to play the open qualifiers as they are ineligible for an invite in the Americas VRS.
The team list for ESL Impact League Season 7 NA currently consists of:
• 
FlyQuest RED
• 
Shimmer
• 
Lumen
• Open Qualifier #1 (Jan 31st - Feb 2nd)
• Open Qualifier #1 (Jan 31st - Feb 2nd)
• Open Qualifier #2 (Feb 4th - 6th)
• Open Qualifier #2 (Feb 4th - 6th)
• Open Qualifier #2 (Feb 4th - 6th)
