Today's issue of "The Catchup" is here! Grab some popcorn and read up on the most interesting things from yesterday's headlines.

The only breaking news story yesterday was Epsilon's roster change. The Spanish team parted ways with Oscar "m1xwell’" Canellas, who was replaced by another familiar name to the Spanish scene, Jonathan "Musamban1" Torrent. To get more details about this transfer, head over to the full news page about this roster change.

Among the all matches which have been played out during the previous day, the first one which comes to the spotlight is the duel between Mousesports and Team Kinguin. This match served as a decider, the winner earning one of the two qualifying spots for PGL Season 1. The European mix left the Germans breathless, after a clean stomp. The full details on this map, same as the overview of the European qualifier can be found on this link.

It is now pretty clear that HellRaisers are in a slump. The Ukranians have firstly failed to qualify for PGL Season 1, and today they failed once again in the qualification process. They had a chance to move on in the CEVO Season 8 placement tournament, but their fellow countrymen from FlipSid3 managed to shut them down in a very back-and-forth BO3.

The next major is slowly approaching, and many teams are already bootcamping for the event. Titan’s player Quiquerez "Maniac" Mathieu has shared a photo from their bootcamp. and we can see that the Frenchies won't be fighting only their scrimming opponents, but also the heat.

Special thanks to Nathan "NBK" Schmitt who shared some details with us on his team's preparation for ESL One Cologne. As we can clearly see, Titan’s fellow countrymen from Team EnVyUs are not having any issues with the heat, they seem to opt for a relaxing day at the pool.

And to close this list, we want to share some details about a possible upcoming North American shuffle. According to Tempo Storm’s owner Reynad, who left a comment on his stream about this situation, and and also by looking at his team’s profile on ESEA, we can see that Daniel "roca" Degiovanni and Timothy "automatic" Ta are out of the roster. Josh "jdm64" Marzano's tweet fueled the fire about this whole situation:
