Cloud9 announced on their twitter account that Jacky 'EternalEnvy' Mao had a connection flight canceled, and may be unable to reach Austin to participate in Monster Energy Invitational.
Bad news for Cloud9 fans as the team may lose its captain for the upcoming Monster Energy Invitational. Jacky 'EternalEnvy' Mao was supposed to reach Austin before the 7th of March, the opening day of the LAN event. However, the selected airport company cancelled one of the connecting flights, forcing Mao to stay at the IAD airport.
Travel trouble! @united cancelled @EternaLEnVy1991 connection and he is stranded at IAD. United offered to fly him to Austin on Saturday wtf

The flight offered by the company will not be enough for EternalEnvy who will reach the event with a delay of one day. If this does occur, then the team will be forced to find a stand-in in order to participate in the event, thus rendering Monster Invitational the second event this roster has attended with a stand-in player since their final formation. The previous offline tournament was MLG Columbus, when Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev took the place of Pittner 'bOne7' Armand, helping the team reach the first place of the competition.
UPDATE :
I'm saved

Apparently, United has got into contact with EternalEnvy, and has managed to obtain transportation to Austin.
