Gambit Esports are lending Artsiom "fng" Barshak to Alliance, meaning Gambit could compete in ESL One Birmingham 2020 -- Online against their captain instead of with him.
The organization announced the loan, which will last two months, on Saturday. Earlier this month, fng played with Alliance in the WePlay! Pushka League competition.
In addition, Gambit said they benched offlane player Maxim "Shachlo" Abramovskikh.
He will be replaced temporarily by Evgeniy "Blizzy" Ree. Vladimir "yol" Basov will stand in for fng.
