Absolute Legends have ?? ?? ???added Joel "emilio" Mako and Christian "Spitfire" Schiölde to their lineup for the RaidCall EMS One finals, HLTV.org has learned.
The Swedish team announced their disbandment last month, just days before Copenhagen Games, but still decided to play the EMS One group stage, with Epsilon duo Jesper "jw" Wecksell and Andreas "schneider" Lindberg acting as stand-ins.
Despite their lack of practice, Absolute Legends ended up topping the group ahead of ESC Gaming, k1ck and LDLC.com to secure a place in the LAN finals this weekend, where they will meet n!faculty in the last-eight stage.
It has now been confirmed that Absolute Legends will be using Christian "Spitfire" Schiölde, who quit Lemondogs earlier today, and WRTT's Joel "emilio" Mako.

The Swedish duo will fill the void left by Dennis "dennis" Edman and Olof "olofm" Kajbjer, neither of whom will be making the trip to Cologne.
"We have not practiced online as a team or anything yet, but we will be bootcamping at Inferno Online from Wednesday until Friday to prepare as well as we can," Markus "pronax" Wallsten told HLTV.org.
"Our goal is to beat n!faculty in the first match and then do the best we can to go as far as possible.
"We would also like to extend our gratitude to Tim and Absolute Legends, they have helped us with a big pinch in a short amount of time. Forever grateful for that!"
