craft1k leaves Virtus.pro

Virtus.pro have announced that Taras "craft1k" Voitenko is no longer a member of the team.

The Ukrainian player had left KerchNET to join Virtus.pro only earlier this week, as the team switched to CS:GO ahead of the upcoming international events.

However, and apparently after just one practice match, Voitenko has decided to leave Virtus.pro because of the amount of time he would have to put into practicing to reach a high level with the team.

"CS:GO is a new game, so it is necessary to play a lot of time and participate in online tournaments, which requires everyone to do their task and be ready to work hard to be constantly improving," manager Aleksey "LeX" Kolesnikov told Virtus.pro's website.

"Taras realised after the first practice session that he cannot spend as much time and put as much effort into CS:GO as the other players.

"We will not be rushed into announcing a new fifth player, we will make some tests."

Virtus.pro have not yet announced which tournaments they plan on attending, but according to the organisation, the team will be fully ready "by 2013".

With Voitenko's departure, Virtus.pro now have:

Michael "evil" Garanin
Emil "kucher" Akhundov
Kiril "ANGE1" Karasiow 
Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev
