CS2 analyst Duncan "Thorin" Shields commented on an interview with Virtus.pro-CEO Nikolay Petrosyan after signing electronic. According to him, the possibility of parting ways with n0rb3r7 negatively affected the player's form.
"When the VP signed electronic, the club's CEO gave an interview. In it, he said that the organization could remove either mir or n0rb3r7. That's it, you've killed Norbert's morale. In the next tournament, his rating immediately dropped. He plays poorly and doesn't know what to expect. <...>
Before, n0rb3r7 just played and lived with the thoughts: 'Here I am, Norbert. I'm performing great right now, everything is cool, no prerequisites'. But now he thinks: 'If I play poorly, I'll be kicked immediately. And the club also said that they have an endless amount of money"
N0rb3r7 finished the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 19 with a rating of 0.93 over 11 maps. On May 7, Virtus.pro will compete against GamerLegion in the playoffs.
