Aurora to Compete at IEM Cologne Without XANTARES

Aurora has been forced to make an urgent roster change ahead of IEM Cologne.

XANTARES will miss the tournament due to family reasons — he will be temporarily replaced by xfl0ud, who has previously played with this team.

xfl0ud was part of the Aurora lineup from 2021 to 2023 and recently played for HEROIC. He will now join Aurora on loan.

At IEM Cologne, Aurora will field a fully Turkish roster: MAJ3R, woxic, Wicadia, jottAAA, and xfl0ud, with Fabre as the coach. The $1,000,000 tournament kicks off on July 23.
