Following an extensive update to the third-party event rulebook on Saturday, Valve rectified a "mistake" to do with a new Wildcard invite requirement.
The adjustment eases the new rule, which now says a Wildcard invite has to be ranked lower than 12th on the Global VRS list, instead of lower than 12th on all VRS lists.
On X, MOUZ have announced that Georgi "Jorko" Mitev, Brimir "Blick" Birgisson and Niki "Cliqq" Kinnunen are no longer part of their academy's starting lineup.
The German organization cited "the evolving competitive landscape and recent changes to the VRS system" as the reasons for the changes.
MOUZ NXT are now:
Adrian "xelex" Vincze
Yeray "Joey" Serrano Perez
Tobias "TOBIZ" Theo (coach)
Brimir "Blick" Birgisson (benched)
Niki "Cliqq" Kinnunen (benched)
Georgi "Jorko" Mitev (benched)
ODDIK have announced that benched player Italo "ksloks" Meinberg has been moved back into the starting lineup. He will replace Vitor "Ceruttera" Cerutti.
With this change, ODDIK now have:
Adriano "WOOD7" Cerato
Fillipe "pancc" Martins

So far, 9INE and Preasy have also registered.

Still, the loss doesn't come as a big blow to Apogee — it is only the opening round of the $30,000 event's Swiss group stage, and they have a ticket to Romania after winning the more important of the two games.

The long PGL Astana qualifying process, which will see one team advance from each of Europe, South America, North America and Asia, is about to start.
The first of several open qualifiers in all four regions are kicking off tomorrow, and they can be found on the Esportal website.
Here are some of the teams signed up in Europe:
Olga "Olga" Rodrigues left HSG fe after two years in a decision she says came as a result of a lack of opportunities to compete internationally from Asia, criticizing ESL for taking the region's Impact Finals spot away.
"Without the opportunity to compete in international championships, I no longer saw any reason to stay here," she told Dust2.com.br. "Since last year, when ESL announced that Asia would not have a spot for the next Impact, I was thinking about this issue. Unfortunately, they killed the women's scene in Asia."
Anthony "ImpressioN" Lim, who played for teams such as BOOT-d[S], BTRG and NKT in CS:GO, has announced his return to activity for Shika.
After retiring from the game in September 2022, the 29-year-old joined BLEED as the organization's Head of Esports.
"Life has been awfully weird in the past quarter, with a sudden surge of issues on both a personal and professional level especially with health," he wrote on X. "Gonna give it my best in this second-chance endeavor!"
Shika have the following roster:
Anthony "ImpressioN" Lim
Nevin "splashske" Aw
"Kumabear"
Ke "Biuckmt" Liu
Zhiyu "Zy88" Xia
Former Anonymo AWPer Filip "tudsoN" Tudev is making a return after a year on the sidelines with a new Polish squad.
Back2TheGame is:
Filip "tudsoN" Tudev
Kamil "Klameczka" Mętel
