@jamus9254: Vitality have announced that Justinas "⁠jL⁠" Lekavicius will be serve as a substitute for the team at BLAST Open Porto and PGL Masters Bucharest, replacing William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman and Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire whilst the pair are on paternity leave. In their announcement Vitality did not confirm which events mezii and apEX would be missing respectively, but an earlier report by Sebastien "⁠KRL⁠" Perez indicated that mezii would miss BLAST Open Porto and apEX PGL Masters Bucharest. The news comes amidst a period of tough results for Vitality who, after winning five events on the bounce earlier this year, have now gone three events in a row without a top-four finish. For jL this represents another opportunity to put himself in the shop window following his departure from Natus Vincere in July, having already served on MOUZ as a stand-in earlier in the year. Should mezii and apEX miss the events as previously reported, Vitality would field the following rosters: BLAST Open Porto:  Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire  Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool  Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut  Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan  Justinas "⁠jL⁠" Lekavicius PGL Masters Bucharest:  William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman  Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool  Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut  Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan  Justinas "⁠jL⁠" Lekavicius #Cs #jl #mezii #apex
