Virtus.pro has added veteran CS:GO professional Denis “electroNic” Sharipov and moved Nikolay “mir” Bityukov to its bench.
electroNic’s accolades include a win at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and Intel Grand Slam Season 3. He has also finished among HLTV.org’s top 10 best players of the year four times.
“The arrival of star players always generates excitement within the club and among its fans,” Virtus.pro CEO Nikolai Petrossian said. “Denis is a well-known figure in the world of esports with an impressive list of major victories and exceptional skill. Few players won both at Major and Intel Grand Slam events.”
electroNic joins a roster that also includes captain Dzhami “Jame” Ali, Evgeny “FL1T” Lebedev, David “n0rb3r7” Daniyelyan and Petr “fame” Bolyshev.
“Virtus.pro is a top team. The core of the roster has won a Major not while ago, and all the players are in their prime and ready for victories right now,” electroNic said. “We share the same ambitions and goals.
“Besides, I’m also excited about the idea of playing with Jame, as he’s one of the most unique IGLs in the game. Can’t wait to adapt to my new team and start doing what I came here for — winning trophies.”
The team said that mir is open to discuss offers with other CS:GO teams.
“Nikolay has been a loyal and valuable member of our team, and we express our gratitude for his contributions,” Petrossian said.
