What to Expect? - Electronic Has Moved to Virtus.pro

Electronic - a Great Fit for Virtus.pro
Firstly, let's see why this transfer is really good for Virtus.pro. Sharipov is a highly experienced esports player who can share his strategies and help teammates improve their game.
Secondly, let's consider who Electronic has replaced. He's taken the place of Mir, and they both play similar roles on the team. This means that adding Electronic to the team should be a smooth process because they play in similar positions.
The only adjustments for Electronic will be getting used to playing on the new Vertigo map, which he hasn't played since his time with NAVI, and a slight change in his position on Mirage from "window" to "short." But on all the other maps, he'll feel very comfortable.
There have been rumors for a while that Virtus.pro is cautious in the transfer market. The club trusts Jame and his strategy, but they always keep an eye out for potential signings. It seems like this cautious approach has paid off perfectly for Virtus.pro.
Players of Virtus.pro Team
Virtus.pro is an esports club that started in 2003. They've won big tournaments seven times in games like Dota 2 and CS:GO. They are one of the top 10 clubs in the world for prize money, earning about $19.5 million. The team competes in nine different games, including Dota 2, Counter-Strike, and others. The name "Virtus.pro" means "professional valor." The club began with a Counter-Strike team and the original players were Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov, Peter "Patrik" Zakharov, Viktor "Sally" Filimonchenko, Vitaly "Ant1killer" Smirnov, and Sergey "MegioN" Ignatko.
The current lineup of Virtus.pro looks like this:
● Fl1t
● Jame
● N0rb3r7
● Fame
● Electronic
● Dastan (coach)
● Pashanoj (analyst)
● Mir (substitute player)
What Should Cloud9 Do Now?
Now, Cloud9 has the opportunity to buy a sniper. But the problem is, there aren't many good snipers available because they're all already signed to contracts with other teams. Players like Kaysar ICY Fayznurov and Artyom ArtFr0st Kharitonov just joined new teams. And Denis deko Zhukov and Ilya m0NESY Osipov aren't going to change their teams.
Every time Virtus.pro makes a player change, it becomes a big deal. That's because this club is really good at keeping their substitutions secret. The transfer of Electronic from Cloud9 to Virtus.pro looks great for VP but not so good for Cloud9. The fans will see the new Virtus.pro team on April 23rd. Perhaps, this change will help Virtus.pro achieve the results their fans hope for.
