The Canadian player has been added to eUnited's ESEA roster in time for the qualifier, which will see the top two sides advance to a closed stage.

The news comes as no surprise, as on Tuesday evening in-game leader Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta parted ways with the organisation following a disappointing run at the Americas Minor in Katowice, where the team were eliminated from the race for a Major spot after losing to Brazilian duo FURIA and TeamOne.

According to Dust2.us, Austin "⁠Cooper-⁠" Abadir will likely be the in-game leader in the qualifier, but it is unclear at this point whether he will be given the role permanently.

Currently without a squad, Subroza spent nearly a year with Ghost before being replaced by Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir, in December. During this time, the team competed at three Big Events, ESL One Belo Horizonte, DreamHack Masters Stockholm and the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals, and had top-four finishes at the ZOTAC Cup Masters and DreamHack Open Atlanta.
