Evgeny “FL1T” Lebedev and Almaz “almazer” Asadullin have today been removed from forZe‘s active roster, it was announced via Twitter, the former being moved to inactive status and the latter listed for transfer. The announcement stated that coach Anatoliy “liTTle” Yashin would also be leaving the team.
The news comes off the back of a mixed year for the Russian squad, who have seen highs such as winning Spring Sweet Spring back in May and their unexpected ESL Pro League showing, but they recently failed to qualify for the Stockholm Major in disappointing fashion, winning a single game at IEM Fall CIS.
FL1T is reported to be landing at Virtus.pro
It has been reported by former pro and CIS insider Alexey “OverDrive” Birukov that FL1T will be moving to Virtus.pro, presumably once the Major has concluded, likely in place of much maligned Sanjar “SANJI” Kuliev.
With regards to liTTle, OverDrive reported that HellRaisers were in talks with the coach to head up their new foray into CS:GO, with Nikita “JIaYm” Panyushkin and Dmitriy “ProbLeM” Martinov forming part of the roster.
As for the replacements that forZe will be bringing in it is once again OverDrive who provides the latest information, suggesting that ex-Vega Squadron man Artem “Fierce” Ivanov will take up the reigns as coach, whilst young rifler Evgeny “Norwi” Ermolin will be signed following recent impressive performances for Singularity.
This will leave forZe with one more slot on the roster to fill ahead of their next matches, which will be at the Dreamhack Open qualifier taking place October 20-21.
If reports hold true, the forZe roster would be:
