The German esports organization BIG has announced changes to the starting roster for the upcoming IEM Cologne 2022, as a result of which k1to will play in the championship instead of faveN. It is reported that the 22-year-old German esportsman continues his treatment, which is why he will not be able to help his team at the home championship.
