Akbar «SoNNeikO» Butaev, the captain of the Live to Win roster, said on his Twitter that the team will play with a stand-in in the Upper Bracket Final of the EPIC League Division 2, as the Gambit Esports organization banned Kyyalbek «dream`» Tayirov from playing against his team.

We will play with stand-in the next one because the Gambit did not allow dream` to play against their organization.

Gambit Esports commented on Akbar's tweet:

About Dream: we knew in advance that we would play with a standin. We only informed him that he would miss the meeting. Last time, Gambit Esports went forward, as there was little time left before the start of the match.

EPIC League Season 2 is held from November 11 to December 13, in which the participants of the first division compete for $500,000, and the teams from the second division compete for $50,000.
