XotiC to miss ESEA Global Challenge LAN; GRAMPZ to stand in

cantwinalan's Jack "⁠xCeeD⁠" Holiman has announced Ryan "⁠GRAMPZ⁠" Baber will stand in for Zack "⁠XotiC⁠" Elshani at the upcoming ESEA Global Challenge LAN.

XotiC will miss his second Global Challenge LAN, as his teammate xCeeD announced that his teammate is dodging the LAN. This is the second time XotiC will miss a LAN, as the 17-year-old already skipped last season's relegation tournament while under the ex-Splyce banner when he stated he did not own a passport.

xCeeD has accused XotiC of LAN dodging

According to Dust2.us, subbing in for him at this season's LAN will be GRAMPZ, a former teammate of Sebastian "⁠seb⁠" Bucki, Connor "⁠CONNOR93⁠" Glover and Michael "⁠MAiNLiNE⁠" Jaber in The Pioneers.

This incident brings up Jack "⁠arKimonday⁠" Kastner's 100-year-ban given by ESEA when he dodged in early 2017, although in that instance the player didn't give any notice to anyone about not appearing at the event.

cantwinalan's roster for the Global Challenge LAN will be:

Canada Connor "⁠CONNOR93⁠" Glover
United States Sebastian "⁠seb⁠" Bucki
United States Mitch "⁠mitch⁠" Semago
United States Jack "⁠xCeeD⁠" Holiman
United States Ryan "⁠GRAMPZ⁠" Baber (Stand-in)

United States Michael "⁠MAiNLiNE⁠" Jaber (Coach)

What's the reason behind dodging tho, it will cost him a lot. In fact he is already demoted from FPL and will probably recieve a ban from ESEA.

statistics bullshit blablabla, there are a lot more cars than planes. also you got to differ the quality of the crashes. maybe plane crashes happen less often than car accidents but your chance to survive a car accident is much higher than a fucking plane crash.

I wasn't talking about the chance of surviving, the overall statistics say planes are WAY safer.

Yes because there are less plane incidents than those involving cars. But WHEN a plane crashes you are most likely dead and you have zero control of the situation. To me it looks like driving a car is still the better deal.

To be fair as long as you still have your wings on a plane you can still glide. And most car accidents are out of your control

He’s a 17 year old fat kid who sits in front of the computer for 12 hours a day with no social skills and is afraid to play on LAN. Or he cheats and sucks. Doesn’t realize he just got himself removed from the one thing he loves for hopefully the rest of his life. Ban him!

LAN dodging in 2018 LUL If you don't have any health issues explaining you can't attend the LAN, this is ridiculous. Afraid he wouldn't be able to run his word.exe on LAN xD ?

Reasons why he would dodge: 1. Lying about being 17. 2. Cheater, scared to play on LAN 3. Retarded
