PinCho Wings skips Chengdu

Uzbekistan team PinCho Wings will not be attending Global Challenge Chengdu, as one of their players was denied visa for China.

The event is due to start tomorrow and PinCho Wings last night reported that they would not be coming, as a result of a denied visa for China to one of its members. HLTV.org understands that ESL contacted the Chinese team wNv.gm asking them to fill the empty spot. The team could however not attend the event, which now leaves Group D with just two teams.

ESL is looking for a suitable replacement for PinCho Wings, who was in group with mousesports and wNv.cn. The tournament will kick off tomorrow and ESL stress that they will announce the replacement, as soon as they find a valid team.

Stay tuned for new updates regarding who will be replacing PinCho Wings and from Global Challenge Chengdu itself, where HLTV.org will be on site the entire tournament.
