Denis "seized" Kostin will be playing for Gambit in tomorrow's IEM Katowice 2018 European Closed Qualifier, as he has revealed on Twitter.

Just a couple of days ago, the Russian player was revealed as a replacement for Bektiyar "⁠fitch⁠" Bahytov in ESEA MDL, with the reasons why the Kazakhstani player was absent, or the duration of his absence, not being disclosed.

The Russian player will be helping Gambit earn a spot in Katowice

With the former Natus Vincere and FlipSid3 member in their roster, Gambit picked up two confident wins in ESEA MDL, beating aAa 16-1 and Nemiga 16-6. It seems that the cooperation will continue, as the 23-year-old tweeted about tomorrow's IEM Katowice qualifier bracket, where Gambit could face Natus Vincere in the second round.
