Virtus.pro parts ways with buster and YEKINDAR

The Russian esports organization Virtus.pro has announced changes to the CS:GO roster, moving buster and YEKINDAR to inactive. Both esportsmen have been moved to the transfer list and will be looking for a new club.

During recent tournaments, our line-up performed below the expectations of the fans, management and our own, so we, together with the players, decided that the time had come for spot replacements.

Timur "buster" Tulepov was one of the players who laid the foundation for the current roster nearly five years ago. Now Timur needs a new challenge, and our team needs fresh ideas and a look at the game. Such a decision will allow both parties to develop further and continue to achieve success. Thanks to Timur for the contribution he made to our victories!

Marek "YEKINDAR" Galinskis will be remembered by our fans for his bright game and bold decisions. For certain reasons, dictated, among other things, by the international situation, YEKINDAR will not be able to continue its journey as part of Virtus.pro in CS:GO. We thank Marek for his performance and wish him well in the future.

buster became a part of Virtus.pro in December 2019 when the organization signed the AVANGAR roster. In turn, YEKINDAR joined the team in May 2020, having moved from the pro100 camp.

Together, the esportsmen helped the team win Flashpoint Season 2, DreamHack Open December 2020, cs_summit 7 and ESL Challenger #48, as well as take second place in the Intel Extreme Masters XV - World Championship, simultaneously reaching the quarterfinals of PGL Major Stockholm 2021.

The last tournament for buster and YEKINDAR was PGL Major Antwerp 2022, following which the team took 12th-14th place.

From now on Virtus.pro (Outsiders) CS:GO roster is as follows:

• Jame.
• Qikert.
• FL1T.
• dastan (coach).
