Runtime sign UnderPressure

The Russian-speaking mixture UnderPressure featuring the likes of Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk and Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin joined Runtime ahead of CIS Minor.

UnderPressure came together before the start of the Minor qualifiers for the IEM Katowice Major, and found success quickly, making it through the first Open Qualifier. In the Closed qualifier, the team that is a mixture of veterans and unproven talent lost to AVANGAR but secured a spot at the Minor by beating Atlants and Monolith.

seized will be representing Runtime

The orgless team UnderPressure has now signed for Runtime, and will be representing the "performance nutrition" company at the CIS Minor on January 16-20.

starix gave the following statement about the signing:

"After playing as Under Pressure for around two months now, we're happy to finally have found a new home. With Runtime we got a strong and rising brand behind us, which is aiming to reach the very top - such as we do. Consisting of experienced players and uprising talents, we are confident in showing great results in the future. At the moment we are preparing in our Berlin bootcamp to compete at our best in Katowice - aiming for the Major Slot. We wanna thank Runtime, our fans and sponsors for their trust in our team ." - starix

Runtime is now:

Russia Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov
Russia Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin
Ukraine Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk
Ukraine Alexander "⁠scoobyxie⁠" Marynych
Lithuania Nikolaj "⁠kalinka⁠" Rysakov

Russia Vadim "⁠MSE⁠" Zimin (coach)
