Virtus.pro<\/strong> has revealed the acquisition of Ilya ‘Perfecto\u2060’ <\/strong>Zalutskiy after Timur ‘FL4MUS\u2060’ <\/strong>Marev was placed on the bench, allowing the former Natus Vincere<\/strong> player to come back into action after more than a year off the competitive scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 25-year-old has participated in two qualifiers this year and made an appearance at LanDaLan<\/strong>; however, it\u2019s been since April 2024, when he was sidelined in Cloud9<\/strong><\/a>, that he has been a part of a functioning team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By adding ‘Perfecto’<\/strong>, Virtus.pro<\/strong> is bringing in a Major<\/strong> and <\/strong>Intel Grand Slam<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>champion who has a wealth of experience, along with the <\/strong>2022 Anchor of the Year<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This signing also signifies a reunion for ‘Perfecto’<\/strong>, as he will reunite with Denis ‘\u2060electroNic\u2060’ <\/strong>Sharipov, a teammate with whom he achieved success while at Natus Vincere<\/strong> from 2020 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, ‘Perfecto’ <\/strong>departed from NAVI <\/strong>to reunite with former teammates Kirill ‘\u2060Boombl4\u2060’ <\/strong>Mikhailov and ‘electroNic’ <\/strong>at Cloud9<\/strong>. Still, this attempt proved unproductive, and the anchor found himself benched until his contract concluded in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtus.pro<\/strong> has revealed that the team is now fully assembled after a lackluster first half of the year as they head into the latter part of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
