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".  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:
