Just days after landing on the market, Abdul “degster” Gasanov gets the call to fill in for OG.
OG have announced that degster will stand in for the team at the BLAST Premier Spring Final. The Russian star comes in to fill the shoes of Mateusz “mantuu” Wilczewski, who will miss the Portuguese tournament due to falling ill after attending the Global Esports Tour Dubai last week.
degster recently landed on the transfer market, coming to a mutual agreement to part ways with Spirit just weeks following the team’s surprising run to the semi-finals at the PGL Major. The 20-year-old cited personal matters preventing him from meeting the organization’s demand to stay in Serbia long term as the main reason.
degster jumps in for mantuu in Lisbon
The AWPer is currently still tied to and is listed for transfer in Spirit, and the Russian side facilitated his temporary loan to OG for the duration of the BLAST Premier Spring Final.
The event will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from June 15-19, with OG facing a difficult group featuring two top-three teams in Natus Vincere and ENCE as well as BIG. The opening match will see Nemanja “nexa” Isaković‘s side face off against NAVI, who recently parted ways with Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov and have Viktor “sdy” Orudzhev stepping in.
OG‘s lineup for BLAST Premier Spring Final will be:
Shahar “flameZ” Shushan
Nemanja “nexa” Isaković
Adam “NEOFRAG” Zouhar
Maciej “F1KU” Miklas
Abdul “degster” Gasanov (stand-in)
Casper “ruggah” Due (coach)
