Former H2k-Gaming support Oskar "VandeR" Bogdan says that he will play in the upcoming 2017 spring split, despite his prior claims that he'd be sitting out of competitive play until the summer.

I am going to play competitively next split so don't worry! 👊👏👏 — VandeR (@VanderLCS) December 26, 2016

Earlier this month, VandeR tweeted that he'd be taking a break for the spring split, and implied that former H2K AD carry Konstantinos "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou would not be participating either. Both VandeR and FORG1VEN have been replaced on H2K by Sin "Nuclear" Jeong-hyeon and Choi "Chei" Sun-ho.

It is unclear if VandeR will play for H2K or another team in the upcoming split, as he is still contracted to H2K. The only EU LCS teams without a starting support right now are Team ROCCAT and Origen, though VandeR could play in the EU CS or in another region.

While with H2K, VandeR helped the team place third in the 2016 EU LCS Summer playoffs, then reach the semifinals of the 2016 World Championship.
