EnVyUs will attend the $300,000 SL i-League StarSeries Season 2 Finals with Cristophe 'SIXER' Xia as a stand-in, since Nathan 'NBK-' Schmitt will be attending his brother's wedding during the same weekend as the event.

Envy certified their attendance at the LAN finals of the second seasons of SL i-League's StarSeries after beating HellRaisers in the online qualifier on Monday evening. It was immediately known that Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt would miss the tournament due to the afformentioned scheduling conflict.

Wuuhuuuu, we qualified for the @cssltv finals! I won't be available to attend the event so the team will use a standin there. GG @HRcsgo :) — Nathan Schmitt (@nV_NBK) August 22, 2016

It has now been revealed that stepping in for the team will be Millenium player Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia, who was last seen on display at ASUS ROG Summer 2016 where his team lost to Space Soldiers in the semifinals of the tournament despite showing good form by beating Escape and Epsilon during the group stages.
