INSIDER ESPORTS – The road to the Intel Extreme Masters tournament has been a bumpy one for most teams, to say the least.

Team Blank who had previously announced they would be able to play with stand-in Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed, will yet again seek another stand-in for Mattis “Snajdan” Andersen. Anderson, whom fell ill yesterday, continues to feel under the weather and will not be making the trip to Hannover. Filling in for Anderson will be former Blank and SK gaming member, Emil “striker” Westerberg.

Blank will arrive in Hannover tomorrow with a squad that is only three fifths of the originally planned line-up. Niklas “Kronquist” Kronquist, Blank's manger, said it was unfortunate that the illness of Mattias “Snajdan” Anderson had come at this particular time but is grateful that Emil “striker” Westerberg is able to stand-in.

Blank's first match of the Intel Extreme Masters III Continental Finals Europe against fnatic will be at 10:00CET on Tuesday.

Their roster is:

Johan "face" Klasson
Jimmy "Jumpy" Berndtsson
Niklas "niko" Johansson
Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed (stand-in)
Emil "striker" Westerberg  (stand-in)
