Evil Geniuses have not made any announcements regarding changes in their roster so far, but Virtus.pro said goodbye to Pavel "9pasha" Khvastunov after three years. There has been no word as to who will replace the Russian player or if any other changes will be made.
Prior to this Team Secret and PSG.LGD have already confirmed to be attending. LGD has already revealed there will be no changes in their current player lineup. Team Secret has yet to confirm their roster for the upcoming season.
