That event will be the team’s last opportunity to qualify for the Master 2 LAN at Reykjavík, Iceland.

The Orange and Black last played in the Stage 2 Challengers 1 qualifiers, but failed to make it to the main event after losing to Alliance 2-0.

Fnatic Team Director Colin ‘CoJo’ Johnson immediately looked to make some changes to “give us the best shot at Iceland.”

Derke and Magnum are expected to make their first appearance on Saturday, April 10 to start the road to Masters 2.
