Maelstorm shared unexpected information about Virtus.pro disbandment

Commentator Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov revealed the true reason for the disbandment of the first Virtus.pro roster. The decision to disband the team was made because all players, except Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov, were not dedicating enough time to training.

He shared this information during a Twitch stream.

"When Sneg1 formed Virtus.pro, they were superstars but didn't show anything. This is the very first lineup with Dread and NS, after which they didn't talk for a while. They actually kicked everyone except NS because at some point, Sneg1 looked at Steam and saw how much time they spent in Dota — only NS was playing it. Sneg1 felt that something was wrong here"

Virtus.pro joined the discipline in 2012, initially featuring players like Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi, Alexander "Santa" Kol'tan, and Nikolai "Azen" Belyakov. The first changes in the roster occurred a month after the team was signed.

Current Virtus.pro roster:

• Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov

• Ilya "squad1x" Kuvlaldin

• Evgeny "Noticed" Ignatenko

• Oleg "sayuw" Kalenbet

• Artyom "Fng" Barshak

It's worth noting that earlier Virtus.pro surprised viewers with a statement about a match against Team Spirit, where they managed to defeat the Dota 2 world champions.
