The roster of Virtus.pro is finalized and it is without ARS-ART who currently is a free agent. The five players are NS, LighTofHeaveN, God, Goblak and Resolut1ion.
The only player remaining from the former roster is NS who will be handing over the captain torch to Goblak. NS have long stated that he is not comfortable being the captain but has often ended up in that position due to his massive experience and insight. Yesterday it was confirmed that LighTofHeaveN now is a part of the team, most likely as the off-laner.
Young talent Resolut1on from the former iCCup team will be saddling up in the mid lane, taking over after cRazy / tamemywild. This leaves otherwise renowned mid player God as the hard carry of the team, making him the first one to officially leave LGD International. If the roles will remain is yet to be seen but the roster confirmed. All the players have previously been in team with the others at some point (such as in DTS, Moscow Five, Darer) except for Resolut1on.
