Another new strong CIS team has seen the light of day with PARIVISION picking up two of Russia's most talented CS2 players. Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov and Robert "Patsi" Isyanov were announced yesterday night as new players on the team alongside Alexey "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev.

The three players will replace Bogdan "⁠xsepower⁠" Chernikov, Andrey "⁠BELCHONOKK⁠" Yasinskiy, and Konstantin "⁠Raijin⁠" Trubarov who was part of the team from September until now. The three new signings will be seen as a big upgrade for the roster that is led by the experienced in-game leader Andrey "⁠Jerry⁠" Mekhryakov. As an AWP player, Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov has shown great promise on Team Spirit, who opted to replace him with the Russian star sniper Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov. Robert "Patsi" Isyanov also impressed during his time on Team Spirit, but never found the groove on Team Liquid in 2023. Now the two players will get the chance to showcase their talent on PARIVISION.

The new lineup is already set to make its debut today in the open qualifiers for the PGL Copenhagen Major.

After losing the two veteran players of K23's previous line-up in Rustem "mou" Telepov and Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev just four days ago, K23 have already found their replacements. It has now been officially announced that Bogdan "xsepower" Chernikov and Daniil "X5G7V" Maryshev is going to be the team's two new additions. 

The changes made to the roster come after a disappointing run at the IEM Fall 2021 CIS event where they managed nothing more than a single victory in the group stages and ended up with a 9th.-10th. place finish. The lackluster performance at the event also meant that K23 would not be participating in the upcoming PGL Major in Stockholm, Sweden. 

Whether or not the new additions to the roster will help K23 reach their desired heights is still unsure, however, the two new additions have already had a successful debut at REPUBLEAGUE TIPOS, with K23 advancing to the play-in bracket. 

The current K23 roster, with the addition of "xsepower" and "X5G7V" look as follows: 

	30 days	90 days
Fixture count	0	0
Maps count	0	0
