Gambit Gaming have acquired a roster to compete in the upcoming qualifier for the CIS Challenger Series, the organization announced Tuesday.

Gambit CIS's roster looks as follows:

Anton " Fomko " Fomkin

" Fomkin Alexei " LeX " Chitac

" Chitac Viacheslav "Archie" Egorov

Most recently, LeX was part of Hard Random, who won the SLTV StarSeries Summer Split 2015 Finals. He also competed at the International Wildcard All-Star 2015 as part of Team CIS.

Oddly enough, both Fomko and Archie are in a sense former rivals of LeX, as they were both defeated by his previous team, Hard Random, during different seasons of SLTV StarSeries 2015.

During the Summer Split, Fomko's former team, Dolphins of Wall Street, were the runner-up against Hard Random. During the Spring Split, Archie's former team, Moscow Five, were the runner-up against Hard Random.

Also on the team, albeit as trial members, are Alexander "BloodFenix" Hallberg, and Nikita "FatoNN" Boborenko.

The press release from Gambit addresses concerns that fans may have regarding them "wasting time" with a CIS Challenger team, stating "we believe that with the opening of LCL and new organizations entering this scene the best CIS teams will become more competitive at the international stage and thus will be able to attract League of Legends fans from other regions."

Gambit also mentioned the prospect of picking up another European roster to compete in the Summer Challenger Series.
