PSG.LGD makes last-minute roster change just hours before the LA Major Chinese open qualifier

PSG.LGD has benched Lai “Ahjit” Jay Son, who they only acquired last week from CDEC gaming in a blockbuster trade for Wang “Ame” Chunyu.

PSG.LGD made the announcement in a Tweet right before the Chinese Open Qualifiers for the ESL One Los Angeles Major were set to begin.

As result of recent preparations for training, player Lai Jieshan "Ahjit" temporarily transitioned to inactive status.

The line up of @PSGeSports team for ESL One Los Angeles 2020 Major China Open is as follows:

– ASD
– Somnus`M
– Chalice
– fY
– xNova#LGDGaming #PSGLGD

It seems that Ahjit hasn’t meshed yet with the team and the organization has decided to move forward with Li “ASD” Zhiwen as their Position 1 hard carry for the LA Major Chinese qualifier.

ASD is a Chinese player who has proven himself as a capable hard carry player in the Chinese region. He’s played for EHOME and Revive in the previous DPC season and was part of EHOME’s squad that won the Bucharest Minor last year.

PSG.LGD already missed out on two DPC qualifier events. They took an early-season break and skipped the MDL Chengdu Major, then they failed to qualify for the DreamLeague Season 13: Leipzig Major.

With three Major events left in the DPC season before The International 2020, PSG.LGD will need to qualify and finish in the top-six spot at least, to earn enough points to qualify.
