Good morning again, r/MLS! Today we're set to announce the first team eliminated from r/MLS Survivor 2019 and get the voting underway on Round 2!

Some excitement in Round 1, as we have the first instance of our immunity mechanic coming into play! As a reminder, random numbers are generated each round to equal the number of teams remaining in the competition (meaning there is a greater chance of immunity early in the game and a lesser chance later). If the final two digits of the total votes matches one of the immunity numbers, the team with the most votes that round is saved and the second-place team is eliminated instead. Amazingly, the 26% chance of immunity occurring this round has indeed happened and we have this result for Round 1:

ATLANTA UNITED FC has been saved by immunity! The LA GALAXY have been eliminated from r/MLS Survivor contention!
