Aurora <\/strong>has made an official announcement regarding the transfer of Timur ‘clax’ <\/strong>Sabirov from 9 Pandas<\/strong> to their team, while Evgeny ‘r3salt’ <\/strong>Frolov will be moving in the opposite direction. This transfer marks the conclusion of Clax’s <\/strong>16-month tenure with 9 Pandas<\/strong>, whereas ‘r3salt’ <\/strong>had joined Aurora <\/strong>just four months ago.<\/p>\n

The transfer has caught many by surprise, as ‘r3salt’ <\/strong>made significant contributions to Aurora <\/strong>during his short tenure with the team. With an impressive average rating of 1.17<\/strong>, he played a key role in helping the squad secure victory at the Skyesports Masters 2024<\/strong>. This achievement was particularly noteworthy as Aurora <\/strong>managed to maintain its position in the top 20 of the world rankings.<\/p>\n

9 Pandas <\/strong>has welcomed ‘r3salt’<\/strong>, marking a reunion with his former teammate Aleksandr ‘shalfey\u00e2\u0081\u00a0‘ <\/strong>Marenov. The two players previously collaborated on FORZE <\/strong>throughout 2023.<\/p>\n

‘Clax’ <\/strong>has averaged a 1.06 rating <\/strong>over the past three months, making him the lowest-rated player on 9 Pandas<\/strong>. The team recently won the CCT Season 2 Europe Series 3<\/strong> title and qualified for BetBoom Dacha Belgrade Season 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

‘Clax’ <\/strong>was part of the ‘9 Pandas’ <\/strong>team that had an impressive underdog run to qualify for PGL Major Copenhagen<\/strong>, defeating Astralis <\/strong>and GamerLegion<\/strong>. However, the team couldn’t compete at the Major due to visa issues.<\/p>\n

In recent months, 9 Pandas<\/strong> has made its second significant change by replacing their experienced in-game leader Denis ‘seized\u00e2\u0081\u00a0‘ <\/strong>Kostin with ‘shalfey’ <\/strong>in the starting roster and appointing Artem ‘Fierce\u00e2\u0081\u00a0‘ <\/strong>Ivanov as their coach.<\/p>\n
