S1ren WILL MISS THE START OF Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major 2026
Russian rifler Pavel S1ren Ogloblin will not be able to help his team for at least the first matchday of Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major 2026. The BetBoom Team organization has officially confirmed that the player will join the roster “later”, but specific dates and reasons for the delay have not been disclosed.
In the opening matches he will be replaced by the team’s official substitute Daniil d1Ledez Kustov, who was registered for this Major as a stand-in. According to the tournament rules, a team is allowed to make a substitution and then once bring the main player back into the roster, after which any further lineup changes will be permanently blocked.
It is worth recalling that at the recent Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026 tournament, the BetBoom roster finished in 4th place, but there, instead of d1Ledez, the stand-in role was taken by Timur FL4MUS Marev. At the same time, the final roster for the main tournament of the season remained uncertain for a long time due to visa issues for some of the players.
In their debut match in Stage 1, BetBoom will face Gaimin Gladiators.
Starting lineup for the first match:
Kirill Boombl4 Mikhaylov
Artem Magnojez Rodnyanskiy
Alexander zorte Zagorulko
Daniil d1Ledez Kustov
Timur FL4MUS Marev
