SPLYCE are poised to take TheMongolz's spot at the offline qualifier for the MLG Columbus major.

With the qualifier scheduled to start on Friday, MLG is in a race against time to find a replacement for TheMongolz, who will miss the event due to visa issues.

CyberZen and Chiefs, both of whom finished 3rd-4th at the Asia Minor Championship, were the next names in line, but the Chinese team are unable to attend the event, while the Australian side cannot field the core of the lineup that competed in Taipei due to personal and passport issues.
