ArtFr0st joins AMKAL on loan

29-4-2025 13:00

tommy remains with the organization, but will take a back seat to the incoming AWPer.

ArtFr0st will man the AWP in the coming tournaments

AMKAL and PARIVISION have reached an agreement for the loan of Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov, who will be manning the big green for the Vitaliy "⁠sFade8⁠" Marushka-led squad "in the coming tournaments."

The news comes after AMKAL announced the transfer of AWPer Svyatoslav "⁠tommy⁠" Tselovalnikov from QUAZAR, although he has yet to start with his new team.

The 21-year-old was brought on after the AWP spot was left open in the roster by Danil "⁠molodoy⁠" Golubenko's shocking transfer to FURIA

ArtFr0st gained some notoriety in the second half of 2023 with Spirit, when he helped the team powered by a surging Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets win BetBoom Dacha 2023 before being moved to the bench in favor of Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov.

The 23-year-old then spent 2024 with PARIVISION, posting a 1.11 rating in 187 maps, before getting benched at the turn of the year to make room for another big-name AWPer, Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali.

AMKAL are now:

Russia Dmitry "⁠sstiNiX⁠" Khlebnikov
Kazakhstan Altair "⁠kAlash⁠" Askarov
Ukraine Vitaliy "⁠sFade8⁠" Marushka
Russia Andrey "⁠AW⁠" Anisimov
Russia Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov (on loan)

Russia Danila "⁠eksiver⁠" Yurkov (coach)

Russia Svyatoslav "⁠tommy⁠" Tselovalnikov (substitute)
Russia Svyatoslav "⁠svyat⁠" Dovbakh (benched)
Russia Matvey "⁠sm3t⁠" Gogin (benched)

ICY the most expensive buy in the whole cs story and you said artfr0st is overrated. In fact ICY is good and got insane potential but he is not consistent. Artfr0st is consistent and really good mechanic. In fact he is a better choice for t1 team.

no one has talked about buy out Icy yet. Neither Overdrive, nor Petrosyan, nor anyone else. Even some of his friends don't know how much it cost Virtus Pro. Flamus cost 1 million, and Icy they got by disbanding Cloud9

I hope he is there for few tournaments and then goes to a better team. Maybe tommy has some issues and Artfrost just jumped on opportunity to keep his form while looking for a better team while tommy is figuring everything out

One could only speculate regarding the tommy scenario. As in the way AMKAL themselves put it makes no sense what so ever.

I feel bad fror ArtFr0st, he always gets replaced by a more recognizable player and ends up playing for worse and worse teams, it surprises me he still got the motivation. A great player with a lot of bad luck.

I feel bad for artfrost, he is a player I really liked in spirit academy and then got moved up to spirit academy where he played good only to get benched for sh1ro, then he gets picked up by parivision where he's also good but get benched for another cis awp legend in jame. He really desserves a tier 1 chance again
