Virtus.pro fielding offers for Qikert

14-7-2023 17:57

The Kazakhstani rifler will keep playing with the team until a transfer offer is received.

Qikert finds himself on the transfer list

Virtus.pro have announced that Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev is open to offers from other teams. The organization stated that this is a joint decision between them and the player and are thus considering new career options for the 24-year-old.

Qikert has been in Virtus.pro since December 2019 when he made the jump from AVANGAR, with whom he just won BLAST Pro Series Moscow 2019 and reached the final of StarLadder Major Berlin 2019.

He won three LAN titles during his three-and-a-half years in the Russian organization. Wins at Flashpoint 2 and cs_summit 7 marked his first two with Virtus.pro, but the team's biggest success came under the Outsiders tag. Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali and company won the IEM Rio Major representing the neutral tag and etched their name in Counter-Strike history.

The results dried up for the team after that, and the ill-fated signing of Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin threw the team into even bigger disarray after he got substituted amid the BLAST.tv Paris Major Europe RMR and subsequently found himself out of the team.

Virtus.pro sign mir on long-term contract

Virtus.pro currently have six players on their roster after the signing of Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov on a long-term contract. The organization did not reveal their long-term plans for the roster and who would be removed, ony that David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan would miss out on their FiReLEAGUE Battle 2023 appereance due to injury.

While Qikert is on the transfer list, he has stated he will remain to play with Virtus.pro until he finds a new team. “It's time for me to get out of my comfort zone. We maintain a friendly relationship with all the guys, and will keep playing together in the next tournaments until a transfer offer is received. We are ready for changes that will benefit us all in the long run."

Nikolai Petrossian, CEO of Virtus.pro, also commented on the move. "Qikert has been playing in this roster for many years, winning a lot of important trophies. We had a long discussion with Aleksey and the coaching staff, and together we came to the conclusion that he needs to discover new opportunities and restart his career.

"His talents and experience will be useful to so many teams, so I have no doubt that he will find a place for himself in the competitive scene. Aleksey will continue to play for Virtus.pro at the upcoming tournaments."

Virtus.pro now have:

Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali
Evgenii "⁠FL1T⁠" Lebedev
Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev
David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan
Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov
Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev (transfer-listed)

Dastan "⁠dastan⁠" Akbayev (coach)

nice

Teams sometimes like to reverse their decision after when they find the new solution is worse, it has happened a few times, that is what benching is for, just relax and breathe.

Why not? Surely a t1 player with an experience, not everyone needs to be a top20 contender to be a good player overall

will be but after his contract expires

2023-07-14 18:02

hes still young and a good kid outside server. Maybe he doesnt go to a t1 team but he will surely go to a decent t2 team

Statistically qikert has not been amazing recently but I think he still has a lot to offer a tier 1 team.

2023-07-14 19:14

noone is going to pay for him lul. didnt watch the game against 9z, idk whether mir played n0rbert spots or qickerts, but vp should bench him rn and at least try to get s1ren as support and anchor.

2023-07-14 21:13

Are they keeping both mir & norb3r7 or will they replace qikert with another suppport player like interz?

2023-07-15 04:34

Good god I hope only tier 4 teams are interested in him, so tired of his face and attitude. He is a special needs child

2023-07-15 05:18

vp is a rus org, they need all rus players I suppose. They sponsored by usmanov (one of the richest oligarchs in russia who is also putins puppet) so this team is also an important part of propaganda in heads of kids
