The esports organisation Aurora has released an official statement announcing the cancellation of a recent player swap with 9 Pandas for Counter-Strike 2.
As a result, Yevgeny "r3salt" Frolov has returned to Aurora (but remains on the bench), while Timur "clax" Sabirov has rejoined 9 Pandas. The reason cited for this decision is the "failure to meet all terms of the agreement."
"We are compelled to officially announce the cancellation of the previously announced player swap with 9 Pandas due to the failure to meet all the terms of the deal. Consequently:
Firstly, r3salt will return to Aurora. Understanding that Yevgeny may not be ready to play in the current line-up, we are moving him to the bench. However, not wanting to halt his career, Aurora remains open to negotiations for his transfer to another club.
Secondly, we are obliged to send clax back to 9 Pandas.
Thirdly, in the upcoming matches, a player from Aurora Young Blud will be competing for us. We will announce the specific player closer to the match."
It is worth noting that 9 Pandas will be competing in the closed qualifier for the European RMR tournament, while Aurora has received a direct invitation to the RMR.
