coolio to fill in for Krabeni at BLAST Rivals

FUT announced that IGL Aulon "Krabeni" Fazlija will not be on the team throughout BLAST Rivals Season 2 due to visa problems. Hungarian player András "coolio" Fercsák will play in the starting five in Krabeni's place.

Coolio had also joined the team earlier this year, replacing Laurențiu "lauNX" Țârlea for the LAN portion of BLAST Rivals Season 1. At that event, FUT was knocked out of the tournament after consecutive losses to Vitality and Astralis.

This is bad news for FUT. The team, which aims to play more official matches with Spanish AWPer Álvaro "SunPayus" García, who joined in October, was forced to point out that García has so far taken part in only a single LAN event. FUT will go to PGL Major Singapore having played only four series with a full starting five, and those series were played at PGL Masters Bucharest.

FUT will open its campaign in Hong Kong with a tough matchup against Spirit.
