Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom and Shuaib "D0cC" Ahmad will be filling in for guccixD at PLG Grand Slam, it has been announced.

The Benelux duo will be replacing Hamza "⁠mason⁠" M'hamdi and Daly "⁠HaylamaN⁠" Mami, who have been ruled out of the tournament due to visa issues.

ScreaM has filled in for a number of teams since being released by EnVyUs in the summer, most notably fnatic, with whom he attended ESL One New York after the team had benched Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist.

D0cCearned a spot in the FACEIT Pro League (FPL) through the Challenger circuit in May, but ended up being benched weeks later for his inability to "communicate with a setup that fits the competitive level of the league".

ScreaM will attend the PLG Grand Slam with a mix team

Doubts about the 18-year-old's legitimacy were dispelled in July, however, after he took part in a bootcamp organised by FACEIT, just like Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool had in March 2017 before he eventually joined MOUZ.

The PLG Grand Slam will run from December 13-15 in Abu Dhabi, where 16 teams will be squaring off for their cut of a $100,000 prize pool. guccixD, who earned a spot at the event via the Levant & Africa qualifier, have been drawn in Group B, along with Grayhound, NASR and TYLOO, with their roster looking as follows:

Kristjan "⁠fejtZ⁠" Allsaar
Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes
Bayram "⁠bramz⁠" Ben Redjeb
Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom
Shuaib "D0cC" Ahmad
