Tempo Storm's Hyerim "MagicAmy" Lee will not be flying to Burbank, CA for the ESL Legendary Series grand finals due to personal issues.
The culmination of two months of competition at the ESL Legendary Series is coming in three days time. The ESL studio in California has opened its doors to the eight best players from the "Match day" tournaments and the $20,000 are ready to be grabbed by the winners.
Unfortunately for Tempo Storm fans, one Hyerim "MagicAmy" Lee won't be able to attend. In a tweet from this morning Eric Brinkley of ESL America confirmed that the female ace of TPS had to cancel in the last minute.

Even though her skills in Hearthstone were known to the pro player community, MagicAmy only broke out during the ESL "Match days". She made top four during week five, losing in the semi finals to Jeffrey "Sjow" Brusey but her recovery was swift. Just one week later, MagicAmy fought through the week six bracket, defeating her new team-mate George "Hyped" Maganzini 3-1.
The ESL Legendary series finals was also MagicAmy's opportunity to represent the colors of Tempo Storm in her first major offline event, a team with which she signed in the very last days of 2014.
To fill the void, Method's Max "Max" Simpson will be extended an invitation, being the next in line in the ESL Legendary standings.
