Gambit Gamings polske mid-laner, Sebastian "niQ" Robak, har her til aften været tvunget til at forlade organisationens gaming hus på grund af sygdom. Det er endnu uvist om niQ vil være rask til weekendens LCS-kampe.
Der er ingen officielle udmeldinger omkring hvad den 20-årige spiller fejler, men Gambit Gaming udsendte tidligere en pressemeddelelse, hvor de bekendtgør at spilleren er rejst tilbage til sit hjemland for at modtage medicinsk behandling:
"Over the weekend Sebastian realized that he requires a medical attention and has therefore travelled back home. He cannot take part in our current scrims and his participation in the upcoming week of LCS EU Spring is not out of question as well. We hope that he can recover as soon as possible and will let him take as much time off as he needs before he can return to practicing with the rest of our team."
Der spekuleres derfor i om en anden polak, nemlig Marcin "Kori" Wolski, der tidligere på ugen stegte under rampelyset pga. sin skandaleramte organisation MYM, bliver niQs stedfortræder under hans sygdomsforløb. Det hverken af- eller bekræfter organisationen i deres udmelding:
"Having said that, we must prepare for all possibilities, therefore we approached several players with a request to act as a temporary substitute, so the rest of the players on our team can resume scrimming in the absence of Sebastian. There is a chance we might need to use a temporary substitute in the official games this week."
Hvorvidt niQ bliver klar til weekends kampe, hvor Gambit Gaming møder henholdsvis MYM og et ufatteligt stærkt Fnatic mandskab, må tiden vise. Den unge polak har været fast mand i den russiske organisation siden maj 2014, men har tidligere gjort fin figur for blandt andre Denial eSport.
