As a matter of fact, the Polish squad is faced with relegation after securing a disappointing 13th place on the leader boards.

HellRaisers and Virtus.pro in 12th and 13th respectively are faced with relegation for Season 5. Finally, at the bottom of the barrel are Team Kinguin who are knocked down into ESEA Premier Season 25.
