Fnatic går till PGL Arlington Major 2022 med tre ersättare
Ihor MatusRepresentatives of the company-tournament operator PGL reported on their Twitter account that they made a concession to the Fnatic team and made an exception in their rules. They allowed a team to play, which will include three replacement players. Such a phenomenon in eSports, and especially at Major competitions, happens, to put it mildly, extremely infrequently.
Who exactly will play in Fnatic is currently unknown.
Fnatic will fight at the upcoming PGL Arlington Major 2022 with other 17 participants of the event, including: Tundra Esports, Team Liquid, OG, Entity, Outsiders, Natus Vincere, Team Spirit, Royal Never Give Up, Team Aster, Xtreme Gaming, PSG.LGD, BOOM Esport, Talon Esports, Evil Geniuses, Quincy Crew, Thunder Awaken and beastcoast.
