After a coronavirus scare, Zdravets Iliev “Hylissang” Galabov and Elias “Upset” Lipp have been cleared to feature for Fnatic in the play-in stage of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship<\/a>.\u2028 \u2028<\/p>\n

The European team earlier announced that the bot lane duo had tested positive for COVID-19, putting their participation in the tournament in doubt.\u2028 \u2028However, according to a recent update, the players have since tested negative, and Fnatic\u2019s AD carry, Upset, will be in Mexico from day one of the play-ins. <\/p>\n

The test for Hylissang was also found to be negative, but it was conducted more recently and, as such, the player will be on a later flight.\u2028 \u2028Hylissang\u2019s absence for the first day of the play-in stage will see substitute R\u00faben “Rhuckz” Barbosa take his place.\u2028 \u2028<\/p>\n

“With the stage almost set in Mexico City, we’re pleased to provide an update regarding our Worlds 2022 roster,” the team wrote.\u2028 <\/p>\n

\u2028”Thankfully, both upset & hylissang are now testing negative. Upset will join the starting roster vs eg and the chiefs tomorrow night after flying to Mexico City today, and we’re excited to finally witness his debut on the Worlds Stage.\u2028 <\/p>\n

\u2028”Whilst hylissang is also testing negative, he has only recently tested so, and as a result, is flying out tomorrow morning. As such, he will miss our games tomorrow evening. Rhuckz will substitute, with hyli hopefully rejoining us for Friday’s matchup vs dfm.”<\/p>\n
