PENTA Sports' Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz will stand in for Peter "ptr" Gurney on NRG eSports' roster for Counter Pit League Season 2 LAN Finals, according to the team's manager Nebi "fnr" Serç.

We are happy to announce that @tabseNcs from @PENTA_Sports joins us as a substitute for @NRG_ptr. Thanks for your quick cooperation! — Nebi 'fnr' Serç (@NRG_fnr) March 14, 2016

ptr is unable to play in the tournament due to requiring immediate surgery after breaking his leg on the plane to Split, Croatia, where the event is being held.

Team chemistry shouldn't be a problem with NRG's last-minute stand in as tabseN is an ex-teammate Fatih "gob b" Dayik and Nikola "LEGIJA" Ninic, when they were all previous on mousesports. tabseN also has an HLTV player rating of 1.05 from the past three months.

What is likely a concern though is that, as a Rifler, tabseN is coming into the lineup to replace ptr, who is an AWPer. This leaves Samuel "SileNt" Portillo as the designated AWPer, a last minute role switch that could add unexpected pressure.

NRG's first opponent at the Counter Pit League Season 2 LAN Finals is Team EnVyUs.

The tournament will take place on March 17-18 in the Spaladium Arena in Split, Croatia and features an $80,000 USD prize pool.
