Due to visa issues VG.CyberZen and BigGods have been replaced by Rogue and Muffin Lightning at the ESEA Season 23 Global Challenge.
VG.CyberZen and BigGods earned their place at the ESEA Season 23 Global Challenge by winning their respective Open divisions in late November.
However, both teams have run into visa issues and thus won't be able to attend the $50,000 event taking place in Burbank, California.
