Charlie “zeph” Dodd and company have received a last-minute invitation after placing second in the closed qualifier and the decision of the replacement comes amid an “ongoing investigation” by the Esports Integrity Commission surrounding one of the players on the Australian team, who back in October saw two other teammates banned for “betting-related offenses”.

Corey “nettik” Browne and Akram “ADK” Smida were among the seven MDL Australia players who received a 12-month ban by the esports watchdog for placing bets on the ESEA league and other CS:GO matches.

DreamHack decided to suspend the player who currently is under investigation on recommendation from ESIC. The player's name has not yet been revealed, leaving Rooster without the core of the roster that had qualified for the tournament by beating Chiefs in the final.

Chiefs will face off against Renegades in their opening match on Tuesday at 07:30 (CEST). The DH Masters Winter Oceania will run from December 1-6 and will feature only four teams, who will compete in a double-elimination bracket for a share of the $15.000 prize pool.
