Tundra will have to play with a replacement
During a personal stream, streamer and analyst Yaroslav 'NS' Kuznetsov suggested that if Edgar '9Class' Naltakyan fails to secure a visa, he might be replaced by Martin 'Saksa' Sazdov in Tundra Esports' roster for The International 2024.
Kuznetsov mentioned that Tundra Esports is facing the possibility of having to play with a replacement if Naltakyan does not obtain his visa. He noted that Saksa, who had previously taken a break due to mental health issues, seems to have resolved those problems and is now prepared to return to competitive play if needed. Saksa is reportedly performing exceptionally well in public matches. Kuznetsov speculated that Saksa could be a viable substitute if Naltakyan's visa issues are not resolved.
Earlier, Roman 'RAMZES666' Kushnarёv revealed that all members of Tundra Esports, except for Naltakyan, have received their visas for Denmark, where The International 2024 will take place.
