The disappointing news for Sander 'Vo0' Kaasjager fans reveals itself with a little under a month to go until the IEM IV World Finals, which takes place from March 2 to 6. His residence in the United States for education takes priority over his gaming, as exam dates clash with the tournament at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany.

Both Andrew 'gellehsak' Ryder and Thomas 'griffin' Wall placed directly behind Vo0 at the American finals and with gellehsak also being unable to attend, griffin takes the vacant space.

Griffin missed out on a top two placing in his American finals group despite wins against Vo0 and dkt due to round difference. He takes Vo0's place in group B alongside the likes of IEM Europe winner Alexei 'Cypher' Yanushevsky and IEM America champion Tim 'DaHanG' Fogarty.

Group B

Tim 'DaHanG' Fogarty
Thomas 'griffin' Wall
Alexei 'Cypher' Yanushevsky
Kevin 'Strenx' Baeza
Magnus 'fox' Olsson
Cyrus 'proZaC' Malekani
