Still, not flamie - OverDrive denied rumors about flamie's transfer to Virtus.pro

Recently Constantine 'leniniw' Sivko informed about the arrival in Virtus.pro player whose nickname begins with the letter F. The community immediately began to discuss the theory with the advent of flamie Natus Vincere. Now Alexei 'OverDrive' Biryukov has taken responsibility for dispelling this rumor. According to him, Virtus.pro has already identified the fifth player and this is not a flamie:

There are many options. We are not considering Gambit and Virtus.pro, the latter has already been assigned a player. In theory, it can go to Spirit. But this is a very distant theory, because the team will play Major, and this is still two months[to wait]. Plus, Spirit has a very strong academy, which already has Patsi, who can replace any player in a tier-2 or tier-3 team right now without losing quality. It is clear that he is the main contender if replacements begin in Spirit.

Alexey Biryukov also speculated about the playing form of Yegor Vasiliev. According to OverDrive, Vasiliev is unlikely to be able to find enough motivation to show an incredible game like in the old days:

He certainly had a career at NAVI. He showed himself very cool, set a million records. Maybe in the end there was some kind of recession, burned out or just tired of training,[therefore]there was no motivation to play at the top level, try to grind tournaments. In any case, even in the state that he was, he showed a good level of play. Of course, below how he can. But it was at a level that many players will not reach even if they play 24v7.

Based on the fact that the new VP player will have a nickname starting with the letter F, it is possible that the newcomers will be, for example, Eugene 'FL1T' Lebedev or Igor 'Forester' Bezotecheskiy. Information about the departure of Sanzhar 'SANJI' Kuliyev is still in the status of a rumor, however, based on what is happening, we can conclude that this rumor will turn out to be true. There are still no comments from Virtus.pro management.
