Wildcard bring in motm for IEM Dallas qualifier

Ian "motm" Hardy announced that he is set to stand-in for Wildcard tonight for Aran "Sonic" Groesbeek during the first IEM Dallas 2024 Open Qualifier. Per one of Wildcard coaches, João "horvy" Horvath, Sonic is unavailable due to his flight home from Serbia being canceled, leaving the South African stranded on the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean. Keep in mind that Wildcard went to Belgrade for a European bootcamp ahead of the PGL Major Copenhagen Americas RMR.

While losing Sonic is unfortunate in the best of circumstances for such an important qualifier, the squad are left in good hands with motm. He previously stood in for Wildcard during day three of the Ace North American Masters Spring 2024, posting a 1.03 rating as the squad claimed a 2-1 win over Nouns.

Wildcard will start their run to IEM Dallas 2024 with:

• Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz

• Gage "Infinite" Green

• Josh "JBa" Barutt

• Keller "SLIGHT" Nilan

• Ian "motm" Hardy (Stand-in)

• João "horvy" Horvath (Coach)

• Matt "Warden" Dickens (Coach)

The first Open Qualifier for IEM Dallas 2024 is set to start in short order, with a number of top NA teams in the running to join Nouns and BOSS in the Closed Qualifier.
