RUBINO to miss Cologne qualifier

LGB eSports member Ruben "RUBINO" Villarroel will not compete at the offline qualifier for ESL One Cologne due to medical reasons, the team have revealed.

The Norwegian player has been advised by his doctor to avoid travelling for him not to risk aggravating the problem, which was not disclosed by the team. 

Besides missing the qualifier for the upcoming major, next weekend, Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel will also not play any part in the team's campaign at the Acer Predator Masters finals, in Krefeld, Germany, from July 30 to August 2.

RUBINO misses two events due to serious health issues 

Replacing RUBINO at both events will be Kristoffer "⁠Mystic⁠" Michelsen, who was part of LGB's roster right until DreamHack Summer, when the team decided to pick up Morten "⁠zEVES⁠" Vollan Christensen and Martin "⁠cENTRYZ⁠" Brandal.
