OG bench k1to, Buzz to trial for the team

The never-ending shuffle at OG continues as they make their third change in as many months.

OG have announced the decision to move Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne to the inactive roster and the addition of Christian "⁠Buzz⁠" Andersen to the team on a trial basis.

The German leaves the active roster after a year of service, during most of which he acted as OG's in-game leader following the departure of Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković last November.

A change was on the cards after his leadership duties were stripped away at the beginning of the new season, when Thomas "⁠Thomas⁠" Utting first stepped in for the BLAST Groups and former MOUZ NXT member Christoffer "⁠Chr1zN⁠" Storgaard was later officially unveiled as the team's new IGL.

"After a challenging season, we're making the decision to move k1to to the inactive roster. We are grateful for his commitment and for taking on the in-game leader role when it was needed most," a statement from OG reads.

With Buzz chosen as k1to's replacement, OG make another young addition to a squad now averaging just over 20 years old.

Best known for his time with Astralis, the 21-year-old Dane recently played a brief stint with Entropiq, which came to an abrupt end after the Czech organization decided to pull the plug on their European roster in the aftermath of the removal of open qualifiers for the Major.

According to OG, the new addition will join the team at a bootcamp starting next week, where the new squad will begin preparations for the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown and Perfect World Shanghai Major's closed qualifier, which will take place later this month.

OG's lineup is now the following:

Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas
Bram "⁠Nexius⁠" Campana
Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea
Christoffer "⁠Chr1zN⁠" Storgaard
Christian "⁠Buzz⁠" Andersen (trial)

Lambert "⁠Lambert⁠" Prigent (coach)

Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne (benched)
