In a brief Twitter post, the ESL One New York champions explained that they will be skipping the event due to scheduling reasons and apologised to the fans who will be in Moscow for the competition.

The announcement comes at a time when MOUZ are linked with roster changes following an early exit at StarSeries i-League Season 6. According to a report from VPEsports.com, the team are considering benching Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski and bringing Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk back into the line-up, just four months after signing the Polish star from Virtus.pro.
