Counter Logic Gaming's CaLLzyy to Miss H1Z1 Pro League Premiere

Counter Logic Gaming is one of the 15 charter teams that will be competing in the inaugural season of the H1Z1 Pro League. However, the team will be playing their very first matches in the battle royale esports league without one of the roster's veteran members. Due to an unforeseen complication regarding his visa application process, Justin "CaLLzyy" Collier will not be competing today with the rest of the Counter Logic Gaming H1Z1 roster, the organization announced on their website.  

John "creanak" Houston will be CaLLzyy's substitute, until he is able to make his way back to competing with the team. Matt "Trinitiii" Nausha, Director of Esports at Counter Logic Gaming, was thankful for creanak being able to step in and help fill the spot left by CaLLzyy's absence.

"I would like to personally thank creanak for stepping in to help the CLG H1Z1 team on such short notice. The circumstances are challenging but I am confident they will all make the best out of the situation. The H1PL is offering new and exciting opportunities for esports players. We are happy to share this experience with creanek and excited to watch the team play Saturday. This season we are looking to defend our status as one of the top teams in North America," stated Trinitiii in the roster announcement. 

With the unexpected roster change, Counter Logic Gaming will still be looking to show the rest of the league and the world that they still are one of the top teams in professional H1Z1.
