OverDrive: “seized will leave 9Pandas”

Professional Counter-Strike 2 player Denis "seized" Kostin may be leaving 9Pandas. This was announced by Russian insider Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov. According to him, the esports organization is in negotiations with FORZE member Alexander "Shalfey" Marenov.

At the time of publication, the clubs have not confirmed the transfer information. Earlier, OverDrive also noted that Cloud9 and PARIVISION are interested in Marenov. 9Pandas will also see the departure of Timur "clax" Sabirov — the player may join Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov's roster.

Seized began his esports career in 2009. As a part of Natus Vincere, he became the champion of numerous tier-1 tournaments and twice became the runner-up of majors. The player joined 9Pandas in 2022. In its lineup, he won PARI, PLEASE, and qualified for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, but the team was unable to attend the event due to visa issues.

Possible 9Pandas lineup:

- Denis "seized" Kostin

- Artem "iDISBALANCE" Egorov

- Alexander "glowiing" Macievich

- Alexander "Shalfey" Marenov (?)
