Virtus.pro add in FL1T prior to PGL Major
The Russian Bears has decided to shake up their roster, only four days before the start of their PGL Major campaign.
Virtus.pro has brought in the profiled 20-year-old Evgeny "FL1T" Lebedev to boost their roster, the Russians confirm on Friday. The former forZe star will replace Sanjar "SANJI" Kuliev in the lineup, owing to the Uzbek being axed a few days before the start of PGL Stockholm Major.
Sergey Glamazda, General Manager at Virtus.pro describes the decision to sign FL1T and replace SANJI as a necessary action for the team if they want to achieve the best possible result at the upcoming Major.
Major is the main event in CS: GO, which everyone has been waiting for two whole years. Its outcome is very important both for our club and for the fans. We want to show the best result, but for this our team needs a shake-up. We got the opportunity to play with Evgeny, and our club decided to use it. We hope that his participation will become the very impulse that will help the team to perform at the peak of their capabilities.
Glamazda explains that this new VP roster isn’t set in stone, and possible changes after the Major might happen as well. "At the moment, no decisions have been made regarding the future of our squad. Everything will be decided on a cold head at the end of the tournament, the VP GM states.
