Earlier this week, Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak of Team Falcons raised concerns about his visa status, casting doubt on his participation in the upcoming ESL One Birmingham 2024 tournament.
Team Falcons’ Contingency Plan
In preparation for the possibility of Malr1ne’s absence, Team Falcons has made a strategic move by registering Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan, the midlaner for Nigma Galaxy, as a substitute, as reported by Liquipedia.
Implications of SumaiL’s Inclusion
The decision to include SumaiL while maintaining Malr1ne’s position in the active roster suggests that Team Falcons may integrate SumaiL into their lineup later in the tournament, pending visa approval.
Potential Scenario: SumaiL Takes the Stage
Should Malr1ne face visa delays or denial, Team Falcons is poised to begin ESL One Birmingham 2024 with SumaiL stepping into the midlane role.
