Russian team forZe, which failed to qualify for the majors, has announced major changes to its lineup. Evgeny «FL1T» Lebedev and Almaz «almazer» Asadullin are leaving, with the former sent to the reserves for now and the latter available for transfer. Also, a statement released by the team mentions that the coach is also leaving the team.
Over the past year, the team has shown erratic results. On the one hand, forZe managed to pull off a win at Spring Sweet Spring in May, and then had a successful run at the ESL Pro League. However, it has now failed to qualify for the majors, failing – without a single victory at the IEM Fall CIS.
Which players will take the vacated places in the team remains unclear. Alexei «OverDrive» Biryukov suggests that Artem «Fierce» Ivanov may take the coach's place. In addition, he believes that forZe are considering young cyber athlete Eugene «Norwi» Yermolin, who has been very successful with Singularity recently. In addition, forZe has yet to find another missing player. The team's next match is scheduled to take place at the Dreamhack Open Qualifier, which will be held Oct. 20 – Oct. 21.
