Participants in both the Counter-Strike and Warcraft 3 tournaments are unable to attend MSI BEAT IT Finals in Beijing, China.

Starting off with the Counter-Strike tournament, Ukrainian powerhouse, Natus Vincere, are being replaced by a team from Taiwan.  Professional Counter-Strike team UMX, who have a long history of being one of the strongest teams in Asia, are replacing the Ukrainians at the Finals in Beijing in just a few days.

With Natus Vincere being replaced by UMX, the team list looks as follows:

Natus Vincere are not the only ones not attending the Finals.  Professional Warcraft III and Undead superstar, Zhuo 'TeD' Zeng, will also be replaced.  His replacement will be a Korean Warcraft III Night Elf star, Kim 'ReMinD' SungSik.  ReMinD, one of the few still active professionals in the scene recently placed second at IEM Shanghai at the beginning of August, will he be able to repeat his recent success?

See what ReMinD had to say on being TeD's replacement for the event:

"Somehow TeD gave up his spot at MSI BEAT IT and Im replacing him. I will put my best as always and I'm looking forward to achieving some good results once again. I hope to at least be in the grand final match."

The updated player list looks as follows:
