    NA League

    In the American league, after the rise of Luminosity Gaming , three organizations with Brazilian lineups were represented for the first time, all of which were in the upper half of the table and with SK Gaming also made the champions of the American league. The other playoff qualifications were Team Liquid , Immortals , NRG eSports, Cloud 9 and OpTic Gaming. The oceanic team Animal Squad withdrew from league operations towards the end of the season, so there was no direct relegation. However, Rush and the team The Foundation, which emerged from Selfless Gaming , had to compete in the relegation.
