GuardiaN to play for Na`Vi at DreamHack Masters Malmö

Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács will play for Natus Vincere at DreamHack Masters Malmö despite recent "problems with his hand," the team announced Tuesday.

GuardiaN tweeted out on Sunday after the MLG Major Championship: Columbus Grand Finals that he was unsure if he was going to be playing at the tournament, due to a hand injury. He then tweeted on Monday saying that he would attend DreamHack Masters, but only as a spectator.

Going to @DreamhackM but no Cs for me :X

But he has now come to a decision that he will play in the tournament. The manager of the team, Eugen "Ugin" Erofeev, gave a statement in Na`Vi’s press release, stating that GuardiaN will undergo treatment for his hand and will not be practicing before the event.

“GuardiaN does have problems with his hand. He will be recovering before the tournament,” he said. “This includes necessary treatment and no playing. The team will be training without him. Ladislav will play at the tournament with the team as we do not want to miss this event.”

Na`Vi’s first opponent in Group B at DreamHack Masters Malmö will be Godsent, the team previously known as Team Ancient. Also in their group are G2 Esports and Counter Logic Gaming.

DreamHack Masters Malmö features a $250,000 prize pool and will take place on April 12-17 at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden.
