Loord to stand

Kinguin are forced to field their coach Mariusz "Loord" Cybulski at the ESEA Season 25 Global Challenge LAN due to Bartosz "Hyper" Wolny's US visa issues.

The Polish side earned a spot at the LAN finals of ESEA Season 25 after placing third in the playoffs, defeating VITALIS in the deciding game. However, the team that recently attended DreamHack Open Montreal, finishing 5-6th, won't be able to field their full roster at the ESEA LAN in Burbank, California.

Loord won't be behind Kinguin this time around

Bartosz "⁠Hyper⁠" Wolny, who was added in May as a result of the team struggling without a "real in-game leader", will miss out on the event due to visa issues. To replace him, Kinguin coach Mariusz "⁠Loord⁠" Cybulski will step in.

Kinguin will field the following roster for the ESEA Season 25 Global Challenge:

Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller
 Grzegorz "⁠SZPERO⁠" Dziamałek
 Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz
 Mikołaj "⁠mouz⁠" Karolewski
 Mariusz "⁠Loord⁠" Cybulski (coach - stand-in)

So @Hyperroo has some problems with visa to USA and we are forced to play at ESEA GC in LA with our coach @LoordBb. Will be fun #LegendBack
