Virtus.Pro Looks To Rebuild Roster
The Virtus.pro organization is potentially disbanding its roster to form a new juggernaut for the next year. Such moves have already been predicted after the roster failed to qualify for significant events such as The International 2024.
The general manager of the organization’s Dota 2 division shared the following words:
“The team’s performance in Riyadh, unfortunately, confirms that the result in the qualifications for TI was not accidental. Many are wondering how the team “sank” so much in the level of play in 1 month? Is this due to the replacement made? More likely not than yes. The replacement of Sayuw became a catalyst for the processes, but was not their original cause.
It's no secret that the Dota scene is experiencing a severe shortage of personnel. Partly because of this, over the past year and a half we have tried to minimize the number of changes in the lineup, choosing the difficult path of growing existing players. But not only the personal level of the performers affects the final result of the team. It is also obvious that the result and quality of a player’s play may differ when performing in combination with different players.
In view of the team's results, I understand the pain of the fans and fully share it. It is obvious that you are waiting not only for words, but also for specific actions. Well, the off-season has arrived earlier than expected for us, the reshuffle is declared open!
We will be testing various formulation variations, some of which may be quite experimental, but the time at our disposal allows for this. Our priority is a team that can play confidently and win this coming fall. Definitely, we plan to participate in the global reshuffle after TI, which could become extremely interesting.
However, players invited earlier to the tests will have a chance to get into the team, everything is in their hands. In any case, the final VP lineup for the next season will be announced in September after The International 2024."
The Virtus.pro roster:
It is unclear which members of the current Virtus.pro roster will continue playing for the organization, and which of them will be dropped. Nothing is set in stone yet, and all we can do is wait.
