[Aug 25th]With sLivko recently parting with team Rox.Kis, it has just been announced that sLivko has now joined Virtus Pro, a Russian Gaming Organisation.
sLivko had left team Rox.KIS because Virtus Pro had offered a better contract and both teams were happy with sLivko leaving and joining.

sLivko’s statement:
I was happy to be in RoX, to me they were not simply a team, but also good friends who would always help and support. I’m sincerely grateful to them for all of this. But this is professional sport; Virtus Pro offered me better terms and prospects, and I believe it to be a significant step forward to me…
The Virtus.Pro team manager’s statement :
I see it as an important move for our organization, and I’m sure that Artem (sLivko) will estimate the opportunities of our project at their true worth, as well as the standards of relations among the fellow players. I think that this transfer will give rise to more successful and progressive activity in our team.

Pretty nice pick up, congrats to both!

i feel like this is a severe downgrade in team, for (perhaps) small increase in salary
|
The team doesn't really matter much, except for teamleague exposure (that Rox weren't doing too well in anyway).
Siw and Turuk are pretty well known on the Russian scene afaik, never heard of the first two Protoss players though.

Straight-forward.

Neytpoh is pretty famous wc3 player. He was one of the best in Russia at his prime. Just he is not appearing on LAN's even tho he hits GM pretty often.

No offense to Neytpoh, but just hitting GM doesn't make him one of the best in a country like Russia right now. sLivko, Titan, LiveZerg, BratOK, Happy, Abver, Pomi, etc...
Unless you mean one of the best in WC3. In which case ignore me

Neytpoh is gonna be sick in no time... watch out for this guy

Yes I thought about wc3. I also think he is capable to be top3 in RUssia, just, as I said, he doesent go to LANs often and is somehow invisible atm Stating that he is now one of the best is silly

Down-grade in team? Virtus.Pro is one of the top cs 1.6 teams in history. They have been around a loooooong time and are stable.
