sdy returns to Monte lineup after illness

Monte's talisman will be back in the server after missing day one of the RMR.

Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev is back in Monte's starting lineup after missing the start of the RMR. The rifler had been sidelined by illness, requiring academy player Jack "⁠Gizmy⁠" von Spreckelsen to stand in at the last minute.

With the Brit, Monte earned a 1-1 record on day one after they failed to convert a big lead versus ECSTATIC before defeating Nexus in the 0-1 match.

"I think sdy brings a lot to the team, a bunch of stability and support with how he plays," stand-in Gizmy told HLTV. "it's hard to replace him, they're missing out on a lot, but I'm trying to live up to all of the good things he does."

The recovery of the 1.13-rated star rifler, then, is a huge boon at a crucial time for Monte ahead of a pivotal best-of-one game against Apeks at 12:00 .
