A League of Legends EU West scouting programme designed to promote some of the top amateur players has been pushed back.
The four-day scouting combine was set to get underway on April 24th, but has now been postponed.
Organiser and eUnited coach Ram “Brokenshard” Djemal made the announcement on Twitter, saying he still wants to make it happen.
Unfortunately due to personal scheduling conflicts, conflicts with the EUOQ scheduling, the EUW Scouting Grounds will be postponed.

Sorry for everyone who was excited for it, I still really want to make this happen but the timing was just wrong right now.

Several promising players who currently play in (or have played in) the UK League of Legends scene were due to take part, including Larssen, Deadly, Rifty, Phurion, Special and Arphan.
It’s hoped the scouting event will feature a draft, round-robin tournament, semi-finals and a final.
Brokenshard has not yet revealed when the event will now take place.
