The parting of ways between Virtus.pro and Nikolay "mir" Bityukov, who was replaced by Denis "electroNic" Sharipov, did not lead to a conflictual situation. This was stated by team member David "n0rb3r7" Danielyan in an interview with Cybersport.ru.
According to n0rb3r7, any player understands why they are being replaced, especially when someone like electroNic joins the team.
"We parted ways on a good note, let's say. It's not an option to part on conflictual terms and so on. I think any player understands that if electroNic is taking your place, then it's clear why you were kicked out. Well, that's my opinion. I think we parted ways normally.
I don't know, it happened so quickly. The opportunity arose, and we just did it without thinking twice. I believe that anyone in our position, if given the chance to bring in electroNic, would take advantage of it."
As a reminder, electroNic officially joined Virtus.pro on April 15. Currently, mir is listed as a substitute for the "bears."
