, Gambit resumed their matches in the group stage under the name M3C.
Despite their efforts, the team failed to qualify for Iceland after finishing among the top six, forcing them to wait for EMEA's Stage 2: Challengers before attempting to book a ticket to the next international event. This time around, M3C placed fourth, one game away from qualifying for Masters: Copenhagen before FPX, the eventual winners of the tournament, snatched their slot away from them.
Now, the troupe's final chance at attending Champions lies in the EMEA: Last Chance Qualifier. After confirming Nikita "d3ffo" Sudakov's absence from the squad and Yaroslav "Jady" Nikolaev's arrival, M3C will have a new roster to field in their rematch against Acend on August 7.
