NEW TEAMS
There will be two new teams joining the league this season. One joined from the Gold League Qualifiers and the other from winning the Silver League. The Silver League champion, Valence, defeated the Red Candids and Danger Close to automatically advance to the Gold League. You may recognise some other WGLNA veterans such as their captain LostThatLovinFeeling as well as Vyrall and Statik on the team.
Top Tier emerged as the victor from the pool of 25 teams in the Gold League Qualifier! They fought their way through a talented bracket to face the second place Silver League team, Danger Close. Danger Close were once again denied advancement into Gold League as Top Tier defeated them 5-1 to claim the final spot in this season. You will find WGLNA veterans such as Dealth_, JoJoJacky, and Rude_Awakening on this roster.

CASTERS
This season we will have a new caster joining us at the desk! Randall “Ruukil” Halcombe will be joining James “Rockstarx12” Grieve to complete the newest Gold League dynamic casting duo. Viewers were ecstatic to see the popular caster Ruukil in his surprise return to the desk during the Gold League Qualifiers. Ruukil should be an old face to many veteran viewers as he casted several of the early seasons of Gold League.
Who is that next to @RockStarx12? It's @Ruukil joining us at the caster's desk this season! #WGLNA pic.twitter.com/uE3dkHokeX
