Farewell to a Legend

On January 25, 2014, the veteran team of Virtus.Pro acquired the services of Paweł “byali” Bieliński. Byali and his teammates won exceptional awards together in the competitive world of CS: GO, including the 2014 EMS One: Katowice Major. On byali‘s CV, he notes he has also won many minor titles with his Polish companions.

Virtus.Pro officially made the announcement on Saturday, the 25th of August regarding the departure of Belinsky. At the moment, it is not known who will replace the Polish rifler on the team or where he will be playing in the future. We do know the FACEIT Major in London will take place from 18 to 23 September and it will be his last competition for the organization. The tournament prize pool is $1 million.

Virtus.Pro : Making the Right Decisions?

Only two members, Filip “NEO” Kubski and Jarosław “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski, remain from the famous team which for years represented the Russian organization. In the 2018 season, the famous squad changed almost everything. In February, Michał “MICHU” Müller was the replacement for the veteran Wiktor “TaZ” Wojtas. TaZ went on to play for Team Kinguin and it looks like he is enjoying his time there. Then Piotr “morelz” Taterka joined the team in June after Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski left for mousesports. It has also been announced that Virtus.Pro will introduce a new member as soon as their participation in London ends.

For byali, he still has not announced where he will continue his career. However, it is very likely that he already knows where he will end, given how this news has been published. For a large number of fans, it will be weird to see the home team with a completely diffferent squad. But at this moment it may not be a bad thing since the team definitely needs refreshment. For a long time, they had a problem with not having a consistent AWP player. By adding morelz it seems they may have solved the problem. We will see who they choose to bring as a fifth player.

Current roster:

• Filip “NEO” Kubski
• Jaroslaw “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski
• Michal “MICHU” Müller
• Piotr “morelz” Taterka

Other eSports Roster Changes

In DotA 2, the lineup that represented VGJ.Storm at TI8 is the first one to start with team changes. A former member of EG and Fnatic, Saahil “UNiVeRsE” Arora, will replace Gengjun “Sneyking” Wu in the offlane position. The team has also acquired the services of Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling as a coach. This move could turn out to be quite good for them since they brought a very experienced player who knows how to perform in the biggest tournaments. In other news, the legendary NiP player Adam “friberg” Friberg has signed up for team Heroic. He had an awful year so far, but it will be great to see him in a decent competitive lineup.
