FNS and TenZ to stand in for Lazarus in Minor Qualifier

As Michael "⁠dapr⁠" Gulino and Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce are unable to participate in the North American Minor qualifiers, Lazarus will be playing with Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta and Tyson "⁠TenZ⁠" Ngo.

Lazarus have recently participated in ESL Pro League Season 9 Americas and the ESL One Cologne North American closed qualifier, finishing the former without a win and the latter in third place following defeats to Ghost and FURIA. The squad will now attempt to qualify for the North American Minor, but without two of their players.

FNS will help out Lazarus in the Minor Qualifier

swag is ineligible to play due to the Valve event ban tied to the match-throwing incident he was involved in back in 2014, while the team opted to not play with dapr as he is attending a wedding during the closed qualifier. In their stead, veteran FNS and youngster TenZ will step in.

Lazarus' squad for the North America Open Qualifier 1, which commences today at 23:00 , is as follows:

Jordan "⁠Zellsis⁠" Montemurro
Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green
Yassine "⁠Subroza⁠" Taoufik
Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta (stand-in)
Tyson "⁠TenZ⁠" Ngo (stand-in)

Danny "⁠fRoD⁠" Montaner (coach)
