GamerLegion will be without Fredrik "REZ" Sterner for the start of Logitech G Play Connect "due to severe food poisoning," the German organization has announced.
The Swedish player is currently in the hospital getting checked "after feeling unwell for several hours." According to GamerLegion, his availability for the later games will depend on his recovery.
Standing in for REZ will be Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek, who is currently on ENCE's bench. His last competitive match was in April, when he played for Prodigy at Gamers Assembly Festival.
This is the second event in a row where GamerLegion have been forced to play with a stand-in. At FISSURE Playground 3, assistant coach Denis "Grashog" Hristov filled in for Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski, who was unable to travel to China due to a damaged passport.
GamerLegion have been placed in Group A at the Logitech G Play Connect, alongside B8, M80, Luminosity, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Metizport. The top three teams from each group will advance to the single-elimination playoffs.
The international team will begin its Logitech G Play Connect campaign with:
Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski Sebastian "Tauson" Tauson Lindelof Milan "hypex" Polowiec Timur "FL4MUS" Marev Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek (stand-in)
