TSM member Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken has confirmed that he is unable to compete in the inaugural season of ELEAGUE due to the tournament's age restriction.
According to ELEAGUE's rulebook, all players must be aged 17 or over to be eligible to compete in the tournament, with Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken falling one year short of that requirement.
This means that TSM will be forced to find a substitute to replace the Canadian youngster, who has been playing for the team for over a month now, following Daniel "vice" Kim's departure, in March.
SEMPHIS' TSM will have to find a substitute for ELEAGUE
TSM, who recently finished third at the Americas Minor Championship, will compete in ELEAGUE only during the second half of June. They will be placed in one of the last three groups, which have not yet been revealed by the organisers of the $1.4 million competition.
The team have the following quartet eligible for ELEAGUE:
Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen
Timothy "autimatic" Ta
