Virtus.pro Benches Perfecto, Takes CS2 Hiatus After Shocking Collapse
Virtus.pro's CS2 Roster Implodes: Perfecto Transferlisted
Virtus.pro has sent shockwaves through the CIS Counter-Strike scene by placing star rifler-turned-IGL Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy on the transfer list and suspending all main roster CS2 activities. The decision comes after months of disastrous results that saw VP plummet to 88th in the VRS rankings - an unprecedented fall for the historic organization.
The Perfecto Experiment Fails
The roster collapse began when Perfecto unexpectedly took over in-game leadership duties following the departures of Denis "electronic" Sharipov and Nikolay "ICY" Fomin. VP's decline was catastrophic:
- Last-place finishes in every recent tournament
- Humiliating loss to streamer mixes at Moscow LAN
- 0% map win rate against top 30 opponents since December
Team management stated: "The decision was made due to results that don't meet expectations. In this configuration, our roster can't reach its potential."
Betting Implications
This development creates significant uncertainty for esports bettors:
- VP will now be high-risk underdogs in any remaining tournament obligations
- Perfecto's next team could offer sneaky value if he returns to his preferred lurker role
- Rumors suggest VP may acquire a top-18 VRS core - monitor roster news closely before wagering

What's Next for Perfecto?
The 24-year-old clarified on social media: "I'm looking forward to returning to my anchor/lurker roles and considering all offers." This positions him as an intriguing free agent pickup - teams needing defensive stability should pounce.
Meanwhile, Virtus.pro's Prodigy and Future rosters continue competing, offering potential betting value as they may field trial players during this transition period. Track all upcoming matches on our matches page.
