We continue to watch the holiday break roster shuffle in competitive Counter-Strike with great surprise, and now we turn our attention to players and teams from Eastern Europe.
Let’s start with confirmed news. Virtus.pro has officially announced two players who will replace Jame and n0rb3r7 in the lineup. The newcomers are FL4MUS from GamerLegion and ICY from Cloud9.
In this configuration, Electronic is the likely new IGL, but to be honest, these changes don’t inspire much optimism. A new IGL and a new system often mean a potential long-term slump. On the other hand, after their disappointing result at the Shanghai Major, the team seemingly needed to make some changes.
ICY’s move to Virtus.pro naturally raises questions about the future of Cloud9. According to the well-known insider OverDrive, the team has reportedly disbanded entirely. Rumors suggest that HeavyGod is likely to join G2 Esports, which needs a fifth player following NiKo’s probable departure to Team Falcons.
Meanwhile, the duo of Boombl4 and Ax1le could end up in BB Team. However, there is no information yet regarding perfecto and interz.
The most intriguing developments are still ahead, and we will continue to keep a close eye on these transfer events.
