Hysteria and Geostorm set to lose players
With the MDL Relegation tournament closing on the 28th, multiple players have begun to look for greener pastures on other teams despite the tournament being five days away.
Hysteria's Nolan "bite" Hunstad has announced on Twitter that he'll be looking for a new team in Season 29. The announcement comes after a rough 16-7 loss in the EPICENTER NA Open Qualifier in which bite didn't have his best game against FURIA.
Geostorm is also in the process of losing players before the event begins with both Damien "droid" Boulware and Daniel "picky" Milazzo departing and looking for new teams as well.
With the changes, the rosters will look as such:
Geostorm | Hysteria |
---|---|

Dust2.us has learned that Geostorm will be playing the relegation with their full lineup. The squad are set to be playing against the disbanded team Vikings, which will most likely lead to Geostorm earning a forfeit victory.
Hysteria may also be on the receiving end of a forfeit victory against XFORCE, as the MDL team only has four players on their roster, and no ability to add a fifth. Should both things come to pass, the teams will play each other in the upper bracket.
EDIT: Per Vikings coach "Muenster" on Twitter, the MDL side will be participating in the relegation tournament, as they still have enough players on their active roster.
