Virtus.pro may be heading for a major roster shake-up this off-season, as two of the team’s core riflers could be on their way out.
According to CIS insider Aleksey “OverDrive” Biryukov, Petr “fame” Bolyshev and star player Evgeniy “FL1T” Lebedev are in talks to join fellow CIS organization PARIVISION.
OverDrive reports that FL1T has asked to be benched after the BLAST.tv Austin Major and is no longer interested in playing for Virtus.pro.
Reuniting with Jame
The rumored move would see FL1T and fame reunite with their former IEM Rio Major-winning captain, Dzhami “Jame” Ali, and teammate Aleksei “Qikert” Golubev.
All four previously played together at Virtus.pro and were a part of the squad that lifted the Rio Major trophy in late 2022, at that time playing under the Outsiders banner.
PARIVISION currently sit at #42 in Valve’s global rankings and is looking to strengthen its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, the potential exit of FL1T and fame follows a lacklustre year for Virtus.pro, marked by early exits and inconsistent showings on the international stage.
