shroud steps in for Method in Toronto

Method will attend Northern Arena with Cloud9 talent Mike "shroud" Grzesiek as a stand-in, Samuel "SileNt3m" Portillo has revealed.

The Canadian player will fill in for Connor "⁠streboR⁠" Roberts, who is unable to attend the event this weekend for unspecified reasons.

The news comes at a time when Cloud9 are taking a competitive break as they conduct tryouts to find a replacement for Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares, who stepped down from the roster last month.

Method have been drawn into Group B for Northern Arena, alongside compLexity, FolloweSports and CLG Red. The teams will face each other in a round-robin group stage, with the top two sides advancing to the semi-finals.

United States Justin "⁠just9n⁠" Ortiz

United States David "⁠Toy⁠" Han
Canada David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford
