VG.Flash's coach Zhenghui "⁠z8z⁠" Liu will act as a temporary replacement for YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng, who has injured himself recently.

After VG.Flash defeated BTRG and 5POWER in the DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018 China closed qualifier, they were set to face their domestic rival TYLOO in the upper bracket final.

Around the starting time, VG.Flash revealed on Weibo that Attacker "was being treated at the hospital due to his physical condition" and z8z would temporarily stand in for him. Afterwards, the Chinese squad was eliminated from the event following 2-0 losses to TYLOO and CyberZen.

AttackeR's injury is a huge blow to the Chinese side

According to sources close to the Chinese player, Attacker injured his foot while playing basketball, and "is unable to move". As a consequence, he will not be able to attend the Asia Minor next week in London.

VG.Flash's roster for the upcoming event is:

YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai
WeiJie "⁠zhokiNg⁠" Zhong
KunHua "⁠LOVEYY⁠" Bai
WingHei "⁠Freeman⁠" Cheung
Zhenghui "⁠z8z⁠" Liu (stand-in)
