Maelstorm talked about issues in Virtus.pro: the team might face a reshuffle

Virtus.pro has been displaying extremely unstable gameplay and has committed several critical mistakes during the qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2024. All of this could be a reason for reshuffling the team.

Vladimir 'Maelstorm' Kuzminov, a commentator and Dota 2 analyst, commented on Virtus.pro disappointing performance in the closed qualifiers.

"At times, they played well, but in some instances, it was an absolute nightmare. Almost as if the players' monitors were turned off. The Pangolier pick against Spirit yesterday was already alarming. Overall, the entire series had surprising moments. The Void's Chronosphere today is something that can overshadow any game. One such moment is a tragedy, but a series of such moments is a symptom that needs to be addressed"

According to him, Virtus.pro did not show a level of play worthy of Tier-1 and made incredible mistakes. He was particularly shocked by Ilya 'Kiritych' Ulyanov's performance on Faceless Void in the match against Klim Sani4. The player missed his Chronosphere, catching three of his teammates, leading to a failure on the map.

Maelstorm emphasized that such mistakes indicate problems within the team that need to be addressed. It is possible that he was referring to roster reshuffles that could rectify the situation.

Virtus.pro roster:

• Ilya 'Kiritych' Ulyanov

• Ilya 'squad1x' Kuvaldin

• Evgeny 'Noticed' Ignatenko

• Oleg 'sayuw' Kalenbet

• Artem 'Fng' Barshak

To recall, VP faced a loud embarrassment, losing to Klim Sani4 in the battle for a slot in ESL One Birmingham 2024 with a score of 2:1.
