1win Team announced a roster change ahead of PGL Wallachia Season 9, as Pure cannot participate due to visa issues. To fill the vacancy, the organization brought in Shad as a temporary stand-in for the upcoming event.

Shad recently reached the top spot on the European ladder and qualified for BLAST Slam 9 alongside a stack of friends under the Dawn Bulls tag. His recent tier-one experience includes playing as a stand-in for Tundra Esports and securing a third-place finish at PGL Wallachia Season 2.

PGL Wallachia Season 9 begins on September 19 with a $1,000,000 prize pool on the line. The tournament features top international squads competing for the championship title.
