Hours before their second match in fnatic PLAY league 2012, Natus Vincere has been forced to pull out of the tournament due to being unable to field a full lineup.

The Ukrainians' campaign in FCL was filled with trouble as their star player Yegor "markeloff" Markelov has been on vacation, forcing former DTS in-game leader Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow to step in.

Their opening match ended up in a 13-16 loss against Wikipediots despite of a 11-4 lead at half, as Karasiow wasn't able to keep up with the rest of the team due to his inactivity since December.
