Gambit Gaming's mid-split star acquisition in their ADC slot Konstantinos "FORG1VENGRE" Tzortziou took to an Ask.fm answer to shed some light on the team's early-split troubles.

Responding to his fans' confusion surrounding the slow start, FORG1VENGRE pointed to the team's hectic travel schedule, delayed housing accommodations and lack of computer access as part of the reason for his team's losses to Elements and ROCCAT.

"We were forced to come [to Germany] cause of the Riot photo shoot ... then since we were already there we were basically stuck in a hotel in Berlin, doing ABSOLUTELY nothing, literally like wake up, eat, roam around the city or try to find a solution, eat, sleep," the ADC wrote.

According to FORG1VENGRE the team had trouble getting into their apartments after arriving in Germany for their photo shoot , which was delayed due to their team clothing not being ready, and were therefore unable to continue practicing leading up to the beginning of the Summer Split.

The ADC acknowledges that Gambit could have done things differently, but it's nothing he hasn't experienced before.

"Yes, Gambit could have prevented all that, but in comparison to all the shit I have encountered (with the exception of SK) before/after [my] league career, it is literally excusable," FORG1VENGRE wrote.

Gambit's ADC also joked about what happened once the team finally got into their apartments.

"At 27 of the month we finally get access to the apartments and I/we encounter some pretty enormously hilarious stuff, lets just say that we spent almost all the day cleaning, we only had time for 2 scrimmages in the night, that's it."
