Time: 2025-10-20 18:00 (UTC)

Virtus.pro  has benched its CS2 player Kaisar "ICY" Faiznurov and officially signed 17-year-old Vladimir "b1st" Krasikov to the main roster.

The announcement was made on the organization’s official social media pages.

ICY joined Virtus.pro in December 2024, replacing David "n0rb3r7" Daniyelyan. During his time with the team, he competed in multiple tournaments, with his best result being a 5th–6th place finish at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025. However, the roster failed to win any tournaments or qualify for the last major of 2025 — Starladder Budapest Major 2025. 

Meanwhile, b1st, who previously played for Virtus.pro ’s academy team, has shown promising performances in tier-3 tournaments and will now take over as the team’s primary AWPer. Currently, Virtus.pro sits at 23rd place in the Valve rankings, with their latest appearance at CS Asia Championships 2025 ending in a 7th–8th place finish.

Current Virtus.pro CS2 Roster:

  • Evgeniy "FL1T" Lebedev 
  • Petr "fame" Bolyshev 
  • Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy 
  • Vadim "t00RO" Arkov 
  • Vladimir "b1st" Krasikov
