The match takes place at 7.30pm CET on the PIT Twitch channel.
Alicus led Misfits’ League of Legends team to victory in the ESL UK Premiership last year (when they were still playing under the ‘Renegades Banditos’ brand).
The team went through some roster changes, an ownership change, and rebranded to Misfits. They managed to qualify for the Challenger Series then the LCS in the space of a few months.
