Peeker's Advantage forfeit opening match of Americas Minor NA Closed Qualifier; Bad News Bears set to play
Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato has announced that FURIA have advanced to the next round of the Americas Minor North America Closed Qualifier, after a forfeit win over Peeker's Advantage.
The above Tweet roughly translates to:
We move on in the Minor bracket, the other team's guys had some trouble and they won't be able to play the first match. Tomorrow we will play against the winner of oNe vs ATK at 19hrs.
Dust2.us has learned the reason for Peeker's Advantage forfeit is due to Anthony "gMd" Guimond being in the midst of his exams, and Chad "Oderus" Miller awaiting a housing inspection. We have also been informed that the team will be able to play tomorrow's match, where they will have to attempt and survive the lower bracket.
As for Bad News Bears, who qualified to the Closed Qualifier alongside Peeker's Advantage, Dust2.us has been informed that the team will play the online event with Jeff "RZU" Ngo. Should they qualify to the Minor, they would need to rely on the Lazarus organization permitting former member Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker to play with the team.
