SK Gaming talent Michael "Friis" Jørgensen has been ruled out of the upcoming European Minor Championship at DreamHack Tours due to a health problem, HLTV.org has learned.
The 27-year-old has recently undergone hip surgery and is unable to travel to Tours to compete in the tournament, which is due to start on Saturday.
Replacing him on SK's roster for the tournament will be Casper "cadiaN" Møller, who remains contracted to the German organisation despite stepping down from their starting roster at the start of the year. His most recent team, Preparation, recently disbanded following the departures of John "wenton" Eriksson and Nicolai "glace" Jensen to fnatic and Escape, respectively.
Friis unable to attend DH Tours following hip surgery
Usually, rosters are locked before a Minor, which means that the qualified teams cannot make any changes before the event, but SK have been granted an exception after providing the necessary medical records to confirm Michael "Friis" Jørgensen' surgery.
Eight European teams will be taking part in the European Minor, which will hand out $50,000 in addition to two invites to the ESL One Cologne qualifier.
This means that SK Gaming will attend DH Tours with:
Asger "AcilioN" Larsen
Emil "Magisk" Reif
Jacob "Pimp" Winneche
Andreas "MODDII" Fridh
Casper "cadiaN" Møller (stand-in)
