The benching of the brothers comes in the wake of a last place finish in IEM Fall North America, in which 00Nation were unable to pick up a single map win in their group and were subsequently

This lineup rotation had a largely positive impact on their performance and resulted in runner-up finishes in both the Spring and Summer seasons. This secured them the second seed in their group at Worlds. League
