9 Pandas has confirmed the addition of Vladislav ‘Krad’ Kravchenko and Vladislav ‘Alv’ Vorokhobov to their roster, restoring it to full capacity after the benching and transfer-listing of Artem ‘iDISBALANCE’ Egorov and Aleksandr ‘glowiing’ Matsievich.
Following their unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the Perfect World Shanghai Major, 9 Pandas decided to refresh their roster, after being defeated by G2, Virtus.pro, and Ninjas in Pyjamas during the Europe RMR.
‘Krad’ boasts significantly more experience compared to the other new signing, having competed for teams such as DreamEaters, Entropiq, FORZE, and AMKAL, with each team taking him to a Major. Throughout his career, the 26-year-old has consistently ranked within the top 20 in the world rankings.
The AWPer ‘Alv’ is still somewhat of a mystery, having only participated in 20 HLTV-recorded matches at the age of 19. He made his debut in the competitive scene with V1dar in the middle of 2023, but spent the latter half of 2024 competing for NewBALLS, where he delivered impressive performances against respectable tier-two teams, including notable matches against 9 Pandas themselves.
