kibaken completes Vega Squadron roster

10-5-2018 23:26

Former forZe member Anton "kibaken" Kolesnikov has joined Vega Squadron's ranks to complete the roster, the organization has announced.

Anton "⁠tonyblack⁠" Kolesnikov has filled the last gap created by the departure of Sergey "⁠keshandr⁠" Nikishin and Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov, who were benched from the team in April before the team found their first replacement in Igor "⁠crush⁠" Shevchenko.

Vega Squadron then trialed their coach, Artem "⁠Fierce⁠" Ivanov, as the team's new in-game leader. However, he has returned to his former role, leaving leadership in the hands of Dmytro "⁠jR⁠" Chervak once again.

kibaken joins forces with Vega Squadron

tonyblack had been teamless since his removal from FORZE at the end of 2017. In the last six months, he was seen standing in for pro100 in the HellCase Cup 7 and took part in a couple of local tournaments with a mixture called TEAMSWAGYOLO.

The 25-year-old has already played a number of online tournaments with his new team, most notably the open qualifiers for DreamHack Open Summer and Valencia, at both of which the squad finished 5th-8th.

Vega Squadron's lineup now looks as follows:

Ukraine Dmytro "⁠jR⁠" Chervak
Russia Pavel "⁠hutji⁠" Lashkov
Russia Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov
Ukraine Igor "⁠crush⁠" Shevchenko
Russia Anton "⁠tonyblack⁠" Kolesnikov

Russia Artem "⁠Fierce⁠" Ivanov (coach)

Why you are talking like you have brain like thorin, you don't know the dynamics of CS and how teams play. Kibaken played in major league while you play in MM league. You dare to insult cis pro players, let me make you understand this "KIBAKEN COMPLETES VEGA SQUADRON ROSTER", you get that? huh silver elite master like brain judging the god of CSGO. Your arms are just too short to box with the oldschool players like kibaken.
