With the recent developments surrounding the newly-formed lineup of Team Orbit, two of the UK’s most prolific teams found themselves without a full roster heading in to Group B of the ESL UK Premiership. Team Infused lost key player Joey “CRUC1AL“ Steusel, while fm-eSports were poached of skilled AWPer Mike “mikeS” Tuns.

Stepping in for Team Infused is controversial player Luke “KritikaL” Green, of FM TOXIC and dignitas fame. It is unknown whether the move is strictly on a provisional basis for the upcoming tournament matches, or to be made permanent at a later date. It is understood that the experienced George “hudzG” Hoskins will play out the tournament before leaving the team.

As for fm-eSports, James “Kryptix” Affleck lends his services back to his old team. It is expected that, along with Affleck, Søren “socN” Falke will see out the remainder of the tournament. The expected lineups for the two favourites in the upcoming ESL UK Premiership are as follows:

Team Infused:

James “redSNK” Littlewood

Aaron “AaroN” Hemmings

George “ZED” Bear

George “hudzG” Hoskins

Luke “KritikaL” Green (Substitute)

fm-eSports:

Neil “nEiLZiNHo” Finlay

Phil “Whindanski” Nicholas

Brandon “weber” Weber

James “Kryptix” Affleck (Substitute)

Søren “socN” Falke (Substitute)
