StrangeR commented on Antares departure from Virtus.pro roster

Alexander ‘StrangeR’ Solomonov stated that he considers Vladislav ‘Antares’ Kertman to be a very promising player who has been thinking about changing his position for a long time, and now it's time to realise such an intention. Also the representative of the organisation stated that the cyber athlete warned the team in advance about his plans.

The corresponding commentary of the Virtus.pro’s head of the cybersports division on Dota 2 published in his personal Telegram channel.

‘Vlad is a haiskill player who is in search of himself. Those who follow his career know that thoughts of changing his role visited him for a long time.

Now they have finally formed. The player warned us about them in advance. I sincerely wish Vlad good luck. I believe that everything will work out with due diligence!’

Virtus.pro announced a drastic reshuffle in the lineup after the team's unsuccessful trip to the Riyadh Masters 2024 tournament. On 24 July, team captain Artem ‘Fng’ Barshak left the roster, after which it was reported that Vladislav ‘Antares’ Kertman will not play at the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational, where the team will be represented by a new pair of support players.

Nevertheless, Virtus.pro promised to present the final lineup after The International 2024, when the massive reshuffle of the Dota 2 pro scene will begin. It is currently unknown whether Vladislav ‘Antares’ Kertman will play in another position in the revamped lineup.

Recall that earlier Artem ‘Fng’ Barshak spoke about the change of role of the fifth position players in the lineups on Dota 2.
