Virtus.pro bench FL4MUS

25-6-2025 21:11

The 20-year-old has been removed from VP's active roster after just six months on the team.

VP are interested in transfering FL4MUS

Virtus.pro has announced that Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" Marev will no longer start for the team, and has been moved to the bench after just one unfruitful season on the team.

The 20-year-old was signed by VP ahead of the 2025 after showing promise with GamerLegion between May and December of 2024.

The pairing didn't go well, however, as FL4MUS was deconstructed and made to switch positions, which led to a loss of confidence and poor performances compared to his time under Ashley "⁠ash⁠" Battye.

FL4MUS: "It's the shittiest season I've ever played, but I hope I will show I can play the game"

Hopes of a good Major showing to turn around a lackluster season came to a screeching halt in the BLAST.tv Austin Major's third stage, where a 2-0 start in best-of-ones against MOUZ and Legacy turned into a 2-3 nightmare in the best-of-threes, with losses to FURIA, Vitality, and paiN.

After another poor individual showing, the organization has now chosen to place FL4MUS on the bench with the goal of transfering him elsewhere.

"Timur is a talented player and a great teammate," says Nikolai Petrossian, CEO of Virtus.pro.

"Unfortunately, the circumstances didn’t allow us to achieve the goals we had set earlier. Nevertheless, I’m confident that Timur still has the potential to make his mark on the big stage. We thank him for his time and the effort he put into the team, and we’re open to discussing transfer offers from other organizations together."

Virtus.pro is now:

Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov
Evgenii "⁠FL1T⁠" Lebedev
Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev
Kaisar "⁠ICY⁠" Faiznurov

Ivan "⁠F_1N⁠" Kochugov (coach)

Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" Marev (benched)
David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan (benched)

the hltv community is not going to support this move, lol

2025-06-25 21:39

Bro killed his career because he was too good for GamerLegion

Nah it was worth trying to go further. Maybe a 4 year contract was a bit too much tho

Going farther is a bit of an overstatement. I think gamerlegion is better

2025-06-26 01:42

For sure

2025-06-26 08:27

It's just been a downward spiral since he took over

For real? How you know that?

2025-06-25 21:36

when VP bought him from GL they announced they signed a 4 year contract. It was in january 2025 so 3.5 years left

2025-06-25 21:37

That's fucked up lol. Thanks for the info.

vp posted in tg that they signed icy and fl4mus for 4 years each

2025-06-25 21:40

it's monopoly money to VP though

2025-06-25 21:14

why tf do vp make such long contracts if they dont even believe in them

4 replies

Maybe they did such long contracts because they believe in them and in the future expected to sell them for more because of a long contract . Maybe , but that is just a theory , because nothing ever happens anyway . Regards

2025-06-25 21:19

If they really bought him for 1 million, then I highly doubt there would be a possibility to sell him for more. He would have to be another donk, which is very unlikely.

2025-06-25 21:38

We should be running VP instead of whoever is running it . facts

2025-06-25 21:54

Tbf Fl4mus shouldn't have signed a 4 year contract with a team like VP who have been known to bench players after a short period of time. Not to mention this team was in the mud before he even joined. I hope he finds a better team but I'm not sure who'd be willing to pay his transfer fee at this point.

2025-06-25 21:26

Where does it says 4 years ??

we know he was signed on a 4 year contract, he'll be stuck in contract jail for another 3 years

2025-06-25 21:22

Just saw the 4 years signing, he should announce his retirement now

2025-06-25 21:24

what

Yep, and icy is seemingly also benched, with fl1t and fame going to parivision It's OVER

2025-06-25 21:12

Damn, Electronic is just destroying teams left, right and centre huh?

are you serious

2025-06-25 21:20

Vp is a way bigger org than pari so it would be shocking if it happened but also hilarious

Where is this info cause I feel like they wouldn't give up the VRS

2025-06-25 22:02

they've now said they're not gonna make any changes other than +perfecto BUT, alledgedly, as soon as the major ended, icy got the news he had been kicked and he went back to kazakhstan, and he has been drinking nonstop, and like yesterday icy was incredibly drunk and basically said he had been benched, so i dont know anymore i presume vp are just lying and that icy will be kicked, with fl1t and fame FOR SOME REASON staying, but idk

2025-06-25 22:04

Electronic at it again.

why?

wtf???

VP should just unite with spirit into a single russian super-team.

elec is better than chopper

2025-06-25 21:52

not as an IGL

2025-06-25 21:55

bro chopper's calls are bad

2025-06-25 21:56

who are you?

2025-06-25 22:47

and you are..?

2025-06-25 23:34

Not a professional CS2 manager, coach or IGL.

2025-06-26 00:48

chopper is a low bar ngl. has best player and extremely good awper and can't capitalize, just has them run in and try and frag, just basic strats or even none at all

2025-06-25 23:31

electronic's next team to destroy is spirit

2025-06-26 02:01

flit/fame/flamus could easily replace magixx and maybe zontix (zontix is back to playing well tho) idk which of them because i dont follow vp because electronic is a bot and ruined those 3's careers

2025-06-26 14:17

this is why you're not a professional manager more trophy and bigger stat = beter palyer

2025-06-26 17:00

you think electronic drew out the potential of flit/fame/flamus? ok

2025-06-26 18:42

-1 mil LULW

WHY LOOOOOOOOOOL

welcome to Team Spirit!

He gone Fame/Flit reportedly out ICY probably benched Elec 1v5 incoming soon How has this guy tarnished his legacy

2025-06-25 21:13

He has a four-year contract. It's the end of his career unless he gets bought out.

Bubzkji ru version

mb he`ll get loaned to someone to save his career

2025-06-25 21:27

Corrected: Virtus.pro is now: Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov Ivan "⁠F_1N⁠" Kochugov (coach) Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" Marev (benched) Evgenii "⁠FL1T⁠" Lebedev (benched) Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev (benched) Kaisar "⁠ICY⁠" Faiznurov (benched)

as if the coach won't also get benched😂

2025-06-25 21:18

He just signed, who knows

2025-06-25 21:34

He was a VP player in 2007. respect the goat

so how many changes will be there?

yes

between ,,a lot" and ,,yes"

2025-06-25 21:21

it's electronic, so.... infinite?

2025-06-26 01:26

this is the part where people pretend it’s electronics fault even though fl4mus was absolutely fucking awful 0.88 rating lmfao

flamus is really good bro...... i hope he will prove himself AGAIN

No he isnt good, but we will see lol

- sign a promising player for 1mil - get him to play roles he never played before, while also having a dysfunctional team and horrible IGL - he underperforms massively - surprised pikachu face

2025-06-25 21:17

yeah definitely excuses having a 0.88 rating. Maybe just maybe he’s just a mediocre player who life gamed a couple of maps in Shanghai..

even donk would drop of the cliff under elec igl lol

you forgot about: "change coach mid-season"

2025-06-25 21:28

He was bad because electrobot’s igling was bad. Flamus was good on GL

fl4mus wasn’t good in GL, he was mediocre as fuck. Had a couple of good naps at the Major and that’s all are we gonna pretend a 1.06 rating in tier 2 is good now?

+1 istg people didn’t watch him in VP, he was selling so many rounds, absolute braindead decisions. Like in that inferno against paiN, gets an ace and then gets 0 kills in the rest of the map

2025-06-25 22:15

BO1 abusers confirmed?

Falcons level of management. What was the point of buying him from GamerLegion then?

welcome to pari

Perfecto incoming

that guy is not good anymore, why would they sign him

2025-06-25 21:41

Guess what

2025-06-26 20:15

u guys got bigger problems…

Spirit or G2 should get him ASAP

he'd actually be a great fit for G2, I love that idea

nice joke XD

Bruh.

Good job egotronic. You just need one more promising aggressive rifler to put in garbage roles. Surely it'll work this time.

just check my name

ngl, they just wasted him. this is like interz kick in Gambit days (I think they kicked him right)

wtf FL4MUS was the 1 likeable part of VP

What?

Egotronic strikes again

ahahahah fuck petrosyan. Hope vp will never see t1 again

Well done, agent Sharipov. It's time for the next stage of the operation.

that was quick

Just go back to GL at this point.

2025-06-25 21:25

welcome to NAVI bro

Dude left GL where he had a decent team just to be kicked 6m in and plummet his stock. Good luck finding a decent team now clown. Should have stayed with GL.

What? Why?

it's time to go back to the full polish roster

what the f is that didn't they pay good money for him few months ago?

welcome Perfecto but if -FL1T -fame then will be +nota +belchonokk or they gonna bench ICY aswell and they go for BB core (zorte+s1ren+magnojez). Anyway i think the best idea would be going for degster

WTF PERFECTO?

2025-06-25 21:30

Damn no flit no fame no flamus One electronic past his prime and one awper who takes icy too literally

Poor kid but this is his fault and his manager’s fault for agreeing to such contract and to such roles. Imagine 3 years on the bench cause who’s going to pay his buyout after so many shit numbers?

deservedly so, but it would have been better to do this before the major started

coming to Imperial with Riskybob

+perfecto

2025-06-25 21:35

Fuck egotronic man. You hate to see it

did u know zont1x played in FL4MUS ?

finally

Shittronic still there

buy a talent guy. give him a 4 years contract.kill his potential with egotronin strats. bench him. profit

2025-06-25 21:44

hah will be screaming at home

2025-06-25 21:45

HOLY SHIT 6 months for this good job electronic

YES virtus.pro! he was the problem! you didn't waste 3 million dollars or whatever on electronic! just one more roster move and you'll finally bag a CCT!

bototronic... Flamus to G2 maybe? It would fit quite good.

2025-06-25 22:05

Idk if g2 will pay 1 mil for him bro

2025-06-26 10:22

scream now

2025-06-25 22:13

Choice is more important than hard work! Why didn't FL4MUS go to G2?

FREE MY BOY

Yelling bot FL0MUS excommunicated, another washed player implemented. The electronic system virus slowly but surely spreads and eats VP alive.

who is in charge of this wtf

2025-06-25 22:50

They shouldn't have signed him in the first place, overrated player that got exposed in tier 1 now

2025-06-25 23:26

He was good in GL under good coaching. Going back to toxic draconian russki team demoralises even the best of us.

2025-06-26 08:29

Your time with electronic does not count

2025-06-25 23:53

Bad move

Good for FL4MUS, good for elec, bad for VP.

2025-06-26 01:18

sad probably electronic too toxic

Contact jail now

2025-06-26 04:40

scapegoated by bottomtronic

2025-06-26 04:51

Save flamus, he was so good in GL

2025-06-26 08:26

gg wtf

2025-06-26 09:32

Good for him if they manage to sell him

2025-06-26 20:08

I don't want to say this word dude but VP just lost so much of its identity and aura after jame left like After the polish VP disbanded JAME was basically everything about VP and now with him gone and electronic IGL. it just seems like another Russian team or smth just feels bland I am sorry. It's like 2022 2023 heroic but they kicked cadian and decided to just put device in his spot
