Maxim “TpoH” Vernikov has officially been named as the replacement for Dmitry “Ditya Ra” Minenkov.
According to the team’s website the decision to leave was a mutual one, fueled by decrease in team morale and motivation as the team has been hit once again with instability and uneventful results.

In addition, Maksim “Jackal” Doroshenok has not been participating with the team in official matches for a few weeks, with the squad playing with a variety of stand-ins. There has been no release of information as to his status.
