Snax ruled out of GamerLegion 's FISSURE Playground 3 opener
GamerLegion will begin FISSURE Playground 3 without captain Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski, who has been ruled out of the team's opening match because of travel issues.
Assistant coach Denis "Grashog" Hristov will temporarily step into the active lineup.
Snax to miss at least one match
HLTV reported that Snax will not be available for GamerLegion 's first Group B series against FURIA Esports .
His absence is currently expected to last at least one match.
However, there is no confirmed timetable for his return to the roster.
The situation leaves GamerLegion without their regular in-game leader for the opening stage of the $1 million LAN.
Grashog steps in
GamerLegion will field:
-
REZ
-
tauson
-
hypex
-
Grashog
Grashog normally serves as the team's assistant coach and will now be required to compete against one of the strongest teams in the field.
GamerLegion 's opening opponent is FURIA Esports .
With FISSURE Playground 3 using a double-elimination group format, the team can survive an opening defeat, but beginning the event without their captain adds immediate pressure to their campaign.
