In addition to the All-Star Game, ESEA have announced dates and details for their upcoming Season 31, and opened up registration. The first day of the season is set to come just over a month from now on April 29th, with playoffs concluding on July 21st.
Season 31 also sees the return of the Global Challenge, which is currently set to take place from July 10th-14th. Due to this timing, the MDL will "run an accelerated season", with regular season matches concluding by June 16th, and playoffs running from June 19th-21st.
On top of the Global Challenge, next season will also offer a path for MDL teams to ESL Pro League.
