AW to miss StarLadder StarSeries Fall due to visa issues
Andrey "AW" Anisimov will miss StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 due to visa issues.
Magic will use coach Danila "eksiver" Yurkov as a stand-in for the entire event in Barcelona.
eksiver joined Magic as coach in May and has played only six HLTV-recorded maps during his career, with his most recent official appearance coming in March 2025.
The absence represents a significant blow for Magic after the team showed encouraging form at both the Esports World Cup and FISSURE Playground 3.
Magic defeated PARIVISION and FaZe during their FISSURE run before narrowly missing the playoffs.
The team will now open StarSeries Fall against Vitality on September 17.
Magic will field MaSvAl , sFade8 , mo0n , tENZY , and eksiver for the tournament.
