OG takes the place of FORZE at IEM Cologne Play-in

The all-Russian roster will not be participating in the play-in because of issues regarding the players' visa

Nemanja "nexa" Isaković and his troops of OG will be participating at the IEM Cologne Play-in instead of FORZE. The news has just been announced by ESL on their official Twitter profile. The event is one of the biggest events of the year for the five Russian players of FORZE and they will surely be gutted having been forced to give away their spot at the event to OG.

Why is OG replacing FORZE?

The reason why FORZE can not compete at the IEM Cologne play-in is due to visa issues for the five Russian players, as well as their Russian head coach. Per the official rulebook of ESL, the next-highest ranked team, according to the official ESL World Rankings, will be picked as the replacement.

Next in the rankings were OG, who have undergone plenty of changes as of late. With their in-game leader "nexa" back at the wheel, as well as the addition of three new players, OG are surely an exciting team to follow as they replace FORZE at the IEM Cologne Play-ins beginning July 26 later this month.

The IEM Cologne Play-in teams are now:

Apeks

Liquid

Monte

MOUZ

Ninjas in Pyjamas

FURIA

Astralis

fnatic

Imperial

9INE

Into the Breach

Complexity

Grayhound

TheMongolz

BIG

OG
