NiP’s League of Legends top laner from Russia, Alexey ‘Alex Ich’ Ichetovkin, is unable to play in the EU Challenger Series Summer 1 Final match against H2K Gaming this Saturday.

Just as his former teammates from gambit gaming, Alex was unable to get a visa for entry to the United Kingdom and will have to stay at home.

Temporarily replacing Alex will be former SK gaming’s top laner Pavel ‘Mozilla’ Klaban. A veteran of the amateur scene, playing for Reason Gaming, Fnatic.Beta and Team LoLPro.

NiP have told BaconCape that they are confident that Pavel can adapt to his new temporary team and go on to win the Challenger Series final.
