🐻 Virtus.pro have announced the departure of Pavel "⁠PASHANOJ⁠" Legostaev hours after the team was eliminated from IEM Melbourne by FlyQuest.

Under PASHANOJ's leadership, the team qualified for the Shanghai Major and reached the playoffs at IEM Katowice, but a string of underwhelming results pushed the organization into a change.

"The past few weeks have shown that the team needs a new coaching perspective, especially with our goals for the upcoming season in mind," Nikolai Petrossian, CEO of Virtus.pro, said.

"Pavel fulfilled his responsibilities and supported the team during a transitional phase, but further progress now requires a different approach."
