Copenhagen Wolves have had to add Søren "socN" Falke as a stand-in just a day before DreamHack Bucharest as in-game leader Henrik "FeTiSh" Christensen is unable to attend.

Copenhagen Wolves were one of the favorites going into this weekend's $15,000 tournament at DreamHack Bucharest after taking NiP to their limits in last week's RC EMS One Cup, but have suffered a big setback.

The in-game leader of the squad, Christensen, has had to pull out of the event at the last minute due to personal reasons. As a replacement the team has recruited Falke on a temporary basis.

"With Dreamhack Bucharest less than 24 hours away, Copenhagen Wolves are able to announce changes to the attending line-up. Prior to the upcoming Dreamhack Bucharest stop, hopes were high in the Copenhagen Wolves camp as the team had been putting in endless hours of practice so that the side would be ready to take on the World elite in the Romanian capital, Copenhagen Wolves said on its Facebook page.

"As tournament kick-off came closer, it became apparent that team captain Henrik "FeTiSh" Christensen would be unable to attend the event due to personal reasons. With Christensen’s temporary step-back, the team and management were forced to work around the clock in order to find a proper replacement for the long-standing team captain.

"Due to great dedication and professionalism shown by both our players and management, Copenhagen Wolves have been able to find a fifth member for Dreamhack Bucharest in the form of Søren “socN” Falke, who also helped the team during the RaidCall EMS One finals in Cologne back in the summer of 2013 when former Copenhagen Wolves star, Bo "wantz" Vestergaard, decided to retire only days before the tournament.

"Even though Christensen is an invaluable part of the team, Falke brings in a wealth of experience from his time as a part of teams such as 3DMAX, FM-eSports and more.

"Dreamhack Bucharest will run from September 14-15 in the Romanian capital. Copenhagen Wolves' campaign will begin in group B where the team will face the Swedish side of n!faculty, HEADSHOTBG from Bulgaria and the local side of IGG. Thanks to Komplett.dk, SteelSeries & adidas for the continued support."

Falke was last seen playing for Copenhagen Wolves as a stand-in at RC EMS One Finals in June. Prior to that he impressed as a stand-in for fm.TOXiC at Mad Catz Birmringham.
