It’s thought that Vadim 'mice' Zimin from Virtus.Pro will be retiring from professional gaming for good, which is no surprise after the teams disappointing performance at WCG 2011, with a 16-3 and 16-5 loss against DTS in the tournament. It's currently unknown who will be the official replacement.



This weekend will see the ASUS Cup take place in Kiev. After the sudden departure from the team it was unknown if the team would still attend the event. Now Virtus.Pro have made it clear that the team will still travel to Kiev, however they will use a stand-in in the form of USSR player Denis 'seized' Kostin, with the temporary replacement being nothing more than temporary for now as seized is thought to continue playing in USSR after ASUS Cup is over. The team have been placed into Group B, facing the likes of NINJA TURTLES, NOVA and snT.
