100 Thieves has been forced to make an emergency substitution in the middle of Championship Sunday at CWL Fort Worth 2019.
Former starter Maurice “Fero” Henriquez will fill in for Preston “Priestahh” Greiner throughout the rest of the tournament, 100 Thieves founder and CEO Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag announced today.
100 Thieves are in the middle of an impressive losers bracket run where they’ve taken down eUnited, Denial, and Heretics so far. Today, they started with a match against Enigma6 in the fourth round of the losers bracket.
According to Nadeshot, Priestahh “threw up on stage mid round” during the second map of the series against E6. 100 Thieves have a 5-1 round lead over E6 on Payload Search and Destroy, as well as a 1-0 series advantage after winning Frequency Hardpoint 250-221.
Despite starting the year with 100 Thieves, the organization chose to bench Fero and replace him with Priestahh on loan from FaZe Clan on Jan. 28. Now, however, Fero will get another opportunity to play for 100 Thieves and try to help the organization capture its first major championship in Call of Duty.
We’ll update this story if more information on Priestahh’s condition becomes available.
