Aurora announced a last-minute substitution before a match and were fined for it: what happened

Gleb "Kiyotaka" Zyryanov, the midlaner for Aurora, did not show up for the first map against PARIVISION at FISSURE Universe: Episode 5, forcing the team to urgently announce a substitute.

It was reported that Artem "Lorenof" Melnik would stand in for Kiyotaka. Due to the last-minute change, tournament organizers penalized the team by deducting 110 seconds from their draft phase.

So far, the substitution has been announced only for the first map. It remains unclear what happened to Kiyotaka and whether he will join the match against PARIVISION later.

As a reminder, a former Team Spirit player previously revealed what players were most commonly fined for while on the roster.
