Fadey will miss ESL Pro League Season 17: North American Conference
According to the portal Dust2, the South African team ATK will be forced to play at the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 17: North American Conference with a stand-in. It is reported that Fadey will miss the championship due to the operation, for which the player must return to South Africa. Thus, ATK will be forced to seek outside help at such an important moment for the team.
Fadey has been playing for ATK since 2019. Together with the team, the 24-year-old South African player became the winner of ESL Challenger League Season 42: North America, and also made it to the top three at ESL Challenger League Season 41: North America and Ace North American Masters: Spring 2022.
Note that the player himself managed to confirm the information on Twitter, wishing good luck to his teammates.
I wish my teammates good luck. Not looking forward to my operation.
It is known that ATK will be forced to ask for help from motm, which it said goodbye to last fall. Since then, the 23-year-old American has not found a new team. At the same time, given the parting of the e-sportsman with the club, it is unexpected to see a similar scenario and the reunion of motm with former teammates.
ESL Pro League Season 17: North American Conference will take place online from January 18 to 20. As part of the championship, ATK will compete for two tickets to the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17. At the same time, the team will start its journey from the final of the upper bracket, where it will play with the winner of the Nouns Esports match - MIBR.
Probably, Fadey will also miss the start of ESL Challenger League Season 44: North America. However, the group stage schedule will allow ATK to prepare for the event and probably see their main player in the ranks.
ATK roster for the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 17 North American Conference:
