This comes after BESTIA's CEO Alejandro "Papo MC" Lococo stated that BLAST would replace them with the Brazilian roster of Legacy, despite his insistence that visas for Luciano "luchov" Herrera and Martín "tomaszin" Corna would be "ready" on Monday, May 26th.

It's a devastating blow for both the BESTIA players and Argentinian fans, who reacted negatively to Legacy player Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer's claim yesterday that his team had "a big chance" to play in the Major.

The Legacy roster competing at the BLAST.tv Austin Major will consist of:

Bruno "latto" Rebelatto
Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer
Guilherme "saadzin" Pacheco
Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira
Lucas "lux" Meneghini
Olavo "chucky" Napoleão (coach)

BESTIA was scheduled to play FlyQuest in the first round of Stage 1 on June 3rd.
