Double Elimination (Bo3)
ESEA-Invite Season 22 is the 21st iteration of an Invite Division in ESEA. It will start on the 19th of May, 2016 and continue until the 30th of August, 2016; which is also the conclusive date of Insomnia58.
Offseason changes
-bird noises-
-bird noises- were the first ESEA-Invite team to make a roster change, dropping roamer Hellbent_ two weeks prior to the end of the ESEA-Invite Season 21 playoffs.[1] During the month long offseason the team trialled various different replacements for Hellbent before finally settling on Invite veteran boomer,[2] who was last seen in ESEA-I Season 15. Team captain Vand spoke of the underlying concerns of boomer's lengthy downtime in a TeamFortressTV interview, stating that boomer has "a great attitude towards teamwork and the game itself that is very similar to the rest of -bird noises-", and "[his attitude] was one of the most important things for us to consider while we were searching for new additions to the team".
The addition of boomer also came the withdrawal of Linkuser,[2] who stepped in as scout for -bird noises- during the latter parts of the Season 21 group stage.[3] Linkuser opted to step down to focus on his real-life commitments, yet only five days later on May 4th corsa was brought in to replace him.[4] corsa, having previously played on notable Invite teams Strawberry Mangoes and froyotech, rounded out the -bird noises- roster for Season 22.

Elÿsian Fields / The Bugs
Elÿsian Fields, formerly known as The Bugs, parted ways with four players during the Season 21-Season 22 offseason. Scout newspeak, soldiers goldfish_ and Cole as well as demoman mausy were all dropped from the team's active roster in late April,[5] leaving only core players mu^ and Digi_ left. Be that as it may, the team was swift to replace their losses; bringing in FARNSWORTH, topshot, and, four days later, kuestif.[6] [7]
Elÿsian Fields are still yet to bring in a second scout.

froyotech
froyotech, reigning champions from the previous season, gained considerable attention when they announced that six-season long scout clockwork would be retiring once again from serious Team Fortress 2 competition in favour of Overwatch.[8] Having retired initially at the end of ESEA Season 20 for the same reasons, he was replaced by his teammate of the same season, -blaze.[8] The addition of -blaze to the froyotech squad reacquires another member of their original two time world championship team. The provisional lineup for the team is to shift erstwhile roamer paddie to scout to succeed clockwork and make way for -blaze.

Participants
Traditionally, the Invite Division of ESEA will hold nine teams to compete in a double round robin group stage. Teams who competed in the previous ESEA-I season are automatically invited to compete, along with the winner of the previous ESEA-IM season. If there is a shortage of teams, an "Invite Poll" voted on by the community will decide which remaining teams will make up the next Invite season. The Invite Poll for Season 22 is scheduled for the 8th of May,[9] and with the high amount of roster changes and team folds throughout the Season 21-Season 22 offseason there are many Invite teams yet to be decided in the upcoming 22nd season.
