On Twitter, Misfits justified the move with Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan's "inability to commit to coming to the gaming house" for a bootcamp ahead of the Americas Minor, which will start on June 8.

The North American organisation added that "it is in the best interest to have someone present" to make the bootcamp as productive as possible as they will battle to secure a spot at the offline qualifier for PGL Major Krakow.

Misfits are yet to announce who their fifth player at the Minor will be. Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver, the team's backup player, had already been announced as a replacement for Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares, who will be getting married on that same weekend as the event.
