RAMZES reunites with Virtus Pro for the concluding Dota Pro Circuit Tour

Virtus.pro Reunites with RAMZES666 to Stabilize Dota 2 Roster

Virtus.pro is bringing back Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev, a former member of their dominant “Golden Roster,” to stabilize their Dota 2 lineup.

RAMZES is rejoining VP after leaving the team along with the rest of the organization’s lineup in 2019. This lineup had a significant impact on the Dota community in Eastern Europe.

During RAMZES’ previous time with VP, the team experienced five Major victories and made two appearances at The International between 2016 and 2019. Since then, he has played for Evil Geniuses, Natus Vincere, and the CIS Rejects stack. However, the VP he is returning to is not only different but also going through a period of instability and controversy.

In April, VP terminated the contract of Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko, the team’s previous carry player, after he drew a controversial symbol during a live match in the EEU Dota Pro Circuit playoffs. As a result, the roster was disqualified, leading to changes in both the team and management.

Bringing back RAMZES not only adds a highly skilled carry player to VP’s roster but also provides a familiar personality who can bring stability to the team and mentor younger players.

“VP is my home, the one I have a lot of good memories with. We have achieved a lot together, and now it’s time to make a new story,” RAMZES said. “I have had a chance to meet the guys from the current roster and we got along pretty well. We are all eager to play and win.”

With the addition of RAMZES, VP has solidified its lineup for the upcoming EEU DPC Summer Tour. They aim to qualify for TI11 in October or at least better prepare for the TI regional qualifiers at the end of the season.
