To be honest, no one was surprised seeing last ESEA winners at the first place after eleventh season. Former Back2Back , now Need Sponsors left no chance to their rivals, scoring an absolute ESEA record with their only loss in the last game without starter Kory “semphis” Friesen. Ultimax Gaming, lead by Paul "pauLy" Guerboyan, came second.

During the ESEA Invite 11 season spectators were able to notice new rosters in some teams. Speaking about leaders: Jordan 'n0thing' Gilbert joined Need Sponsors, Matt 'Warden' Dickens replaced Spencer 'hiko' Martin in CheckSix and Derrick 'impulsive' Truong was reunited with his former teammates Joe 'perez' Perez and Shaun 'hostile' Catron in High Rollers Gaming.
