Virtus.pro moves buster and YEKINDAR out of the active roster

Starting May 23rd, Timur “buster” Tulepov and Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis are benched. The club is open for transfer offers regarding the players.  

Club’s comment:  

“In the recent tournaments the roster failed to meet the expectations of the fans, management, and its own, therefore we made a collective decision to go for changes in the roster.  

Timur was one of the founding members of this team that was put together almost five years ago. He needs a new challenge, while we need fresh ideas about the game. This decision is going to be mutually beneficial and will allow both the player and the club to keep progressing and striving for success. We are incredibly grateful to Timur for his immense contribution to our victories.  

Our fans will remember Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis with his flashy plays and bold moves. Due to a number of reasons, some of which are related to the current international environment, YEKINDAR’s journey in the Virtus.pro CS:GO roster comes to an end. We are thankful for his time with the team and wish him luck in his future endeavors!”  

With Timur and Mareks in the roster, Virtus.pro managed to claim several big trophies, with Flashpoint Season 2, DreamHack Open December 2020 and cs_summit 7 being among them. The team also reached top-3 in HLTV rankings. In 2021 YEKINDAR was named 8th best player in the world by HLTV.   

Virtus.pro has already made the decisions on the future of the roster. The club will introduce new players soon.  

Current Virtus.pro CS:GO roster:  

Dzhami “Jame” Ali; 

Aleksey “Qikert” Golubev; 

Evgeny “FL1T” Lebedev;

Dastan “dastan” Akbayev (coach).
