NS openly spoke about Virtus.pro's new roster, sharing his thoughts on their prospects

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov commented that the new Virtus.pro roster does look better than the last one, but it still has some remaining gaps regarding the Dota 2 pro scene.

This was mentioned in a statement during a Twitch stream.

“VP got tired of trying to make something out of SquaD1k, Kiritych, and the other ****, and they took a solid five-man roster. To be honest, I think this VP lineup has weak chances to show results on the global stage in the long run. First of all, I don’t like the roster. I think it’s fairly weak”

It was likely just a coincidence at Chimera placed 4th in DreamLeague 25, especially post International shifts where many teams were not in form due to depression. “Chimera rode a wave of momentum”, to put it lightly. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I hope this roster gets to at least top 8. In comparison to the previous variant of Virtus.pro where, achoo, didn’t go anywhere, this is what I call progress. “Here, there’s more chance”

NS added that his expectations for the success of the new VP roster are not so high, rather anticipating them to be in a comfortable top 8. At the same time, admits, the new roster is still not worse than the prior one and does stand a shot at the Dota 2 professional scene.

As a reminder, previously ATF shocked everyone with his statement about Quinn after joining Team Falcons.
