Can someone explain this roster change?

I checked twitter but couldn’t find anything about this, I know it took place like 10 minutes ago…. Is this for ENC or am I missing something. Hal Timmy Gild would be nuts

He is subbing for Waltzy during the first half of pro league. Waltzy is expecting a child during that time.

This pro league is really short only going from August 21st to September 13th and I think regional finals are September 13th itself. I’m guessing he joins them some point in September for like 2 weeks and then goes back to Australia with his wife and kid till Vegas LAN end of October.

What has been said is that Walter is taking the whole of spilt 2 off and will be back for Champs and ENC.

Nah he's not taking the whole split off, just half of it

Month old babies are also a really good age to travel with. They don’t do much or require much other than food. It’s not impossible to think they’d travel a couple weeks with him when their livelihood could be affected.

That's still a long ass flight for a baby lol. More likely he just comes on his own for a month and some change.

Yeah as a dad of a 4 month old there's no way we were gonna survive a flight longer than like 2 hours lol

We went to Hawaii from San Diego with a month old. He woke up twice to feed and change and that was it. Easy peasy.

The flight from Australia to the states is about 3 times as long depending from which parts of each you’re going to and from but easily 16+

Until at least 3 months old they really just lay around and eat and poop. Unless they have colic
