Virtus.pro officially announces the demotion of n0rb3r7

VP posted an announcement on social media: "Thank you n0rb3r7 for two wonderful years with the Bruins. Thank you for your energy, hard work, passion, and your never-fading optimism, which always lifted the spirits of your teammates and fans!

Virtus.pro will explore new transfer opportunities with the player. We will notify you of other changes to the CS2 roster at a later date. Please stay tuned for the latest news.”

This change leaves VP with only three players, and Jame , the long-time captain, has also been removed from the lineup; if there are any more changes, the team will lose Valve ranking points.

Given that this scenario is unlikely to happen, the team will now rebuild around electronic , FL1T and fame , leaving room for signing an AWPer and a Leader (if electronic takes the role, a full-time point guard will be needed to replace n0rb3r7 ).

This is the second time n0rb3r7 has been demoted by VP. The first time was shortly after he won the IEM Rio Major at the end of 2022, when the team decided to replace him with KaiR0N- .

Five months later, n0rb3r7 made a stunning return to the team during the BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR and remained with the team for the next 18 months.

"VP is more than just an organization to me," n0rb3r7 said on VP's website. "Here I have grown as a player and a person, and I have experienced many great moments that will stay with me for a long time."

In the tough spot-player role, n0rb3r7 averaged a 1.02 rating during his time with the VP lineup and took first place at the aforementioned IEM Rio Major as well as ESL Challenger Atlanta.

Shortly after the official announcement was released, the whistleblower harumi revealed on social media that the person VP was investigating was zweih from the Nemiga team .

Virtus.pro 's current lineup is as follows:
