Virtus.pro has revitalized its Counter-Strike 2 lineup with two pivotal moves. First, 17-year-old Vadim “tO0RO” Arkov has been promoted from the academy team, VP.Prodigy fills the empty spot in the main roster and steps into the anchor role. Second change is, Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy has taken the in-game leader mantle.
tO0RO: Rising Youth to Role of Anchor
The 17-year-old tO0RO has impressed within VP.Prodigy, most notably delivering strong performances against teams like Liquid and FUT in BLAST Premier Rising, and clinching consecutive titles in the ESEA League Season 54 Europe Elite Cup 1 and Myskill Pro League Season 2 Finals.
Perfecto: A Veteran Ready to Lead
Despite not having experience as an in-game leader, Perfecto’s addition reflects the organization’s faith in his professional maturity and strategic insight. Virtus.pro emphasized that the decision was “unanimous” and rooted in “vast professional experience, deep understanding of the game, and leadership qualities.”
What This Means for Virtus.pro
These lineup changes are yet another effort to reinvigorate Virtus.pro’s performance. By elevating tO0RO to the primary roster, the team introduces youthful talent and new strategic possibilities. At the same time, Perfecto might be the in-game leader they needed to fix the lack of consistency. His international experience and major-winning experience should help him fit in that role.
This revamped lineup will debut at the FISSURE Playground 2 tournament in Belgrade, beginning on September 12, 2025.
