Virtus.pro bench fng

Artem "fng" Barshak, the captain of the Virtus.pro Dota 2 squad, has been benched. The club will soon be testing players for his position.

Nikolai Petrossian, CEO of Virtus.pro:

"Artem has made a big impact on the club's history. He returned to the roster during a challenging time for us and helped younger players gain confidence. We had some good moments, but we couldn't achieve our global goals, so now it's time for changes.

I express my gratitude to Artem for his professional approach and wisdom in decision-making."

Artem "fng" Barshak has played over 800 maps for Virtus.pro. Together with the club, he placed 5-6th at The International 5, won several significant tournaments, and coached our squad at TI in 2022.

In the near future, Virtus.pro and fng will be discussing potential avenues to continue working together.
