VP.Prodigy became the main Virtus Pro roster
The Russian Esports organization ??Virtus Pro announced global changes in its Dota 2 teams. Their youth roster, ??VP.Prodigy, becomes the main one, and the former main roster is disbanded.
VP.Prodigy was formed in April 2020, and during this time, the team became the champion of Epic Prime League Season 1, as well as the vice-champion of OGA Dota PIT S3: Europe/CIS and WePlay! Pushka League Season 1 Division 1. In total, during this period, the team earned over $190,000 in prize money.
Sergey Glamazda, CEO of ??Virtus Pro:
“We launched ??VP.Prodigy roster with one main goal — to give young talents a chance for development on the pro-scene. This team had already shown some phenomenal results by this moment: reached grand finals in five out of seven tournaments and won three of them. We had two strong rosters, though at the same time we were limited in tournament options.
By the end of September we faced a tough choice: to once again update our first roster or to invest in ??VP.Prodigy and put our faith in new blood. Today we transfer the ??VP.Prodigy squad to our first Dota 2 team.
I would like to thank ex-??Virtus Pro players. A lot of them are the living legends, their names and victories have been written in the club's history. Today we start a new chapter that will have a lot of trophies and memorable moments.”
??Virtus Pro roster:
??Egor "epileptick1d" Grigorenko
??Danil "gpk" Skutin
??Dmitry "DM" Dorokhin
??Vitalie "Save-" Melnic
??Illias "illias" Ganeev
