Changes for The Gaming Resorts LAN team lineup
Roster shuffles have created changes for The Gaming Resorts LAN scheduled to be held in Portorož, Slovenia, between September 10-12. The finalized new lineup includes Team Secret, Virtus.Pro, Ninjas in Pyjamas, compLexity Gaming, Monkey Freedom Fighters, Arcade.PowerRangers and Golden Boys. There is only one more spot left available for a team to compete for the $50,000 prize pool.
The post-TI5 shuffle has brought about many changes for team rosters and organizations. One of the unfortunate results includes various team withdrawals from The Gaming Resorts LAN, Gaming Paradise. The organization has announced today the changes that have been confirmed.
After a long delay caused by the post-TI madness, we’ve finally nearly finalized the lineup for our Dota 2 tournament! Although Empire, Alliance, 4 Clovers and 4 Anchors have had to withdraw for various reasons, we’ve managed to get a great lineup.
Na’Vi were among the first teams to accept an invite to the Gaming Resorts tournament, scheduled to take place between September 10 and 12. However, not long ago, the Ukrainian organization has notified the Gaming Resorts organizers of their withdrawalfrom the tournament. Na’Vi have been replaced by Virtus.Pro.
Team Empire were also among the first three teams to be invited. However, they bid farewell to two players August 25th – Maxim “yoky” Kim and Andrey“ALWAYSWANNAFLY” Bondarenko – and welcomed Ivan “ubah” Kapustin to the team. They decided to drop out of the Gaming Paradise tournament.
Alliance was the fourth team to confirm the participation, in mid July. They have now decided to withdraw from the LAN organized by The Gaming Resorts, after having revealed their new roster to include Johan “Mynuts” Andersson and Gustav“s4″ Magnusson, on August 27th.
According to The Gaming Resorts, both 4 Clovers & Lepricon and 4 Anchors and Sea Captain had also just recently accepted the invitation to the event. However, 4CL lost their invite to the event due to their recent roster changes that left only Jerry “EGM” Lundkvist and Alaan “SexyBamboe” Faraj on the team.
