Executive Vice President of MLG Adam Apicella tweeted out this afternoon (12:00 EST) that the former iBuyPower team, now named Clutch Cats, would not be attending the X Games event scheduled in two days.
This leaves a hole to be filled in Group B with Fnatic, Team-LDLC and Counter Logic Gaming awaiting news on who their new opponent will be. The former iBuyPower team was scheduled to kick off the event with their much anticipated match against Fnatic.
More news to come soon as MLG and the X Games find a suitable replacement for the American team. Spencer "Hiko" Martin, a stand-in for the team, tweeted out "Looks like Aspen is a no go. News will come out sometime in the near future, sorry friends and fans" confirming the teams exit from Aspen.
Update 20.00 CET: MLG's official twitter has confirmed North American Team Liquid will be the stand in for the X Games event.
Xgames Update: Clutch Cats have withdrawn from the competition. @mlg is working on a replacement team for the competition. Stay tuned.
