The Kazakhstani rifler joins deko on Aurora's bench after their RMR failure.

Lack1 struggled at the RMR with a 0.76 rating

Aurora have made Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev inactive in the wake of their 12-14th place finish at the European RMR.

The move puts the roster down to three after Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov benched himself to take a break from competition.

deko takes break from competition

Lack1, a supportive element and former in-game leader, has been with Aurora as a founding member since August 2022 but did not make it to a single Big Event.

That includes the Majors, with Lack1 failing to add to his single Major appearance with Entropiq at Stockholm despite some success online with young talent such as deko and Evgeny "⁠r3salt⁠" Frolov.

A particularly poor Shanghai RMR for Lack1 has dealt the killing blow, after he recorded a 0.76 rating in what has become his final event with the team.

*Update 16:00 : Aurora have also announced the promotion of former Virtus.pro man Andrey "⁠Xoma⁠" Mironenko to head coach, replacing Stepan "⁠brain⁠" Sivoronov.

Aurora are now:

Timur "⁠clax⁠" Sabirov
Aleksandr "⁠KENSI⁠" Gurkin
Evgeny "⁠Norwi⁠" Ermolin

Andrey "⁠Xoma⁠" Mironenko (coach)

Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev (benched)
Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov (benched)

finally

Glad to see aurora crumble. They had so much hope once upon a time. Just turned into toxic shithouse.

> Stepan "⁠brain⁠" Sivoronov (coach) Not a bad nickname for a coach.

WARNING PEDANTRY In this article, Lacki is called a "Kazakh rifler". Kazakh refers to ethnic Kazakhs (whether or not they live in Kazakhstan). Lacki looks like he's ethnically Russian, so it would probably be more correct to refer to him as Kazakhstani. @NER0cs

Nah, Kazakh is fine , we refer to ethnically Slavic people as Kazakhs if they were born in Kazakhstan

In casual speech this distinction isn't always made. But in formal, especially anthropological, usage, it can be important to differentiate between the two. I'll admit it's pedantic, though, because it doesn't really matter in this context.
