Anton "Cooller" Singov has decided to skip the Masters event in Paris. He and a few of the initially invited players have dropped out of ESWC's list and were replaced by Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager and Richard "noctis" Gansterer, among others.The two-times ESWC champion from Russia will not be attending the ESWC Masters of Paris on July 4-6. Cooller was no longer interested in the Masters after he managed to qualify to the Grand Final in San Jose.
Eight players in total dropped out. Among them are Pelle "fazz" Soderman who did not manage to find sponsors that would pay for his travel and accommodation and Lemmy "if-22" de Groot who did not get time off work for the ESWC Masters.
The fans should not worry about the lack of star players at the tournament. The ESWC 2004 PainKiller champion Vo0 and the celebrated new school player noctis are among the replacements. On top of that, players like John "ZeRo4" Hill and Paul "czm" Nelson will be in Paris to try and win a berth to San Jose and the defending champion (technically) Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski will also be present.
