NS named the person responsible for Virtus.pro's failures

Streamer and former pro gamer of e-sports, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, has said that Alexander “StrangeR” Solomonov, the team manager is to blame for the bad performance by Virtus.pro as well as its current condition.

This was revealed during a livestream on Twitch.

"Virtus.pro has turned into a team for the Battle Cup? This happened a long time ago. As soon as they made StrangeR the main manager"

He also claims that StrangeR is not ready for managing tier-1 teams; hence he was responsible for lowering VP’s level. According to him, the main goal of this man in his position has always been to collect players with an ambition to sell rather than promote them into pros.

"People have different ambitions and potentials. Some are good at tactics, some at strategy. And some are experts in shawarma stands. StrangeR is from there. He has spent his whole life assembling tier-2 teams. That's what he knows how to do. Assemble people who aren't needed by anyone and make a decent team out of them. And then sell these players somewhere because some of them play well. That's 10 years of this person's career. Guess what he'll assemble? That's what he'll assemble"

However, there had been previous instances when NS blamed StrangeR despite managing the team up to TI2023 qualification year though last season they only qualified for BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024.

It is important to mention here too that NS earlier explained why BetBoom Team never wins any tournaments.
