StrangeR, Ahilles, and 4SV join Virtus.pro
The management of the One Move club has moved to Virtus.pro. The club announced this on its official website.
Now, ??Alexander "StrangeR" Solomonov takes over as Head of Dota 2 department, ??Ivan "4SV" Karpov becomes the team manager, and ??Timur "Ahilles" Kulmukhambetov becomes roster coach.
Official Virtus.pro announcement:
The qualifiers for The International this year gave us a lot to think about, revealing the most pressing issues. To solve them, we recruited people with experience: ??StrangeR proved his managerial abilities a long time ago, assembling competitive squads in the CIS in conditions of limited resources over and over again; ??Ahilles has coaching qualities that will help our team look at many aspects from a different angle, and ??4SV will allow the players to focus only on their game.
Alexander "StrangeR" Solomonov:
Greetings to all the fans of the Bears!
Joining such a big club as Virtus.pro is a new stage and a serious challenge for me. I have the highest goals set for the next season. To fulfill them, the coaching staff of One Move, represented by the coach and the manager of the squad, joins the club with me. We worked with Timur and Ivan in the last season and, despite all the trials we faced, I think that we did a pretty good job.
During the off-season, we have a lot of work to do in order to strengthen and stabilize the Dota 2 roster. I assume that the upcoming reshuffle will be very interesting. Stay tuned for further announcements.
In the current DPC season, Virtus.pro failed to qualify for The International 11. First, the team lost a direct invitation after a point recount. Then, it failed the Last Chance tournament.
