One of the Virtus.pro participants Marek “YEKINDAR” Galinskis gave an interview to Rush B Media, talking about the team’s immediate plans. In his opinion, the team will have to rebuild the game and reconsider the division of roles in order to show good results with the new lineup. Since “SANJI”, who replaced Sanzhar, Kulieva Evgeniy "FL1T" Lebedev brings his experience and approach to the game, the functions of the players can be redistributed. It is possible that the team will need to try several options before finding the optimal one. Since FL1T only joined the active roster on the eve of the Major, it will take some time to achieve consistent, well-coordinated play.
YEKINDAR expects that if successful, the team will be able to return to the top 3 of the world rankings by the end of the year. At PGL Major Stockholm, Virtus.pro was able to advance through the group stages and reach the playoffs. As a result, she lost to Heroic and finished her performance at the tournament, remaining in 5th-8th place.
However, Virtus.pro’s next performance was not so successful: at REPUBLEAGUE Season 2, which takes place online, she was unable to advance beyond the 1/8 finals, losing to Eternal Fire in the match on November 11. As a result, the team was eliminated from the championship, remaining at 9 – 16th place and without receiving any prize money.
