With uncertainty around securing a fifth player, and the Danish players wanting to return home, FPX decided to start anew with the North American lineup. Swole Patrol are now the second team, alongside MIBR, to compete in both Flashpoint and their rival tournament. The Brazilian line-up joined the Americas group of ESL Pro League on March 21.
