One of the members of Virtus.pro, Marek «YEKINDAR» Galinskis, gave an interview to Rush B Media, talking about the team's immediate plans. In his opinion, the team will have to rebuild the game and rethink the division of roles in order to perform well with the new squad. As Sanzhar's replacement «SANJI» Kulieva Evgeny «FL1T» Lebedev brings his experience and approach to the game, the players' roles may be redistributed. It is possible that the team will need to try several options before the best one is found. Since FL1T joined the active roster only on the eve of the majors, it will take some time to achieve a stable cohesive game.
YEKINDAR expects that if successful, the team will be able to return to the top 3 of the world ranking by the end of the year. At PGL Major Stockholm Virtus.pro was able to make it through the group stages and into the playoffs. As a result, it lost to Heroic and finished its performance at the tournament, remaining in 5-8th place.
However, Virtus.pro's next performance was not so successful: at REPUBLEAGUE Season 2, which is held in online format, it could not go further than 1/8 finals, losing to Eternal Fire in the match on November 11. As a result, the team bowed out of the championship, remaining in 9 – 16th place and no prize money.
