xP replace 10.000th in Premier League

One day before the second round of the $10,000 Dota 2 league by TwitchTV and DotaCommentaries hits the screens, 10,000th leave the competition and are to get replaced by Experience. No detailed reasons as to why the international squad with traces of the disbanded GGnet had to quit the field; however the statement at the official Premier League facebook page mentions problems with the lineup as main trigger.

Carried by the popular and long-living triumvirat of Nikola 'Azen Belyakov, Jesper 'Miracle- Nyhlen and team captain Kuro 'KuroKy-' Salehi Takhasomi, 10,000th completed the first Permier League playday regularly after splitting points with dignitas to lay a solid foundation for the second round where World Elite is waiting.

Due to the mentioned lineup-problems, which possibly relate to Nyhlen who now appears in the first five of xP, 10,000th get replaced permanently by the Swedes, who bring a longer history of competitive Dota 2 to the table, after lengthy showings in InsideDOTA and BenQ tournaments where various high level opponents were defeated. Experience are the third squad to fill in for one of the originally invited teams; EG and dignitas previously replaced DK and LGD right before the league kicked off.

As a result of the interseasonal switch, Team Dignitas will have to re-play their first match versus Experience during the second round and will face the Swedes as well as World Elite in one go on the 14th of January. The match against will WE take place at 14:00 CET, followed by another best-of-two against xP at 16:00 CET.
