The esports organisation Virtus.pro has announced the launch of a new academy project for Counter-Strike 2. "VP.Future will serve as the first step in working with talented young esports players," reads the official announcement on the club's website.
Virtus.pro's CEO, Nikolay Petrosyan, commented on the launch of this new initiative:
"VP.Future will implement a training structure that includes modern facilities for practice, monitoring of player development, as well as engagement with their parents. This academy will resemble traditional sports academies in spirit, emphasising sporting values and holistic development. At the same time, we will study and adopt the experience of esports academies that have already achieved success in training tier-1 level players.
Currently, VP.Future has more than 10 players whose progress we are continuously monitoring to make informed decisions about their future steps."
Additionally, the organisation announced changes within its VP.Prodigy roster. The club has sold Denis "xdENiSZERA" Sklenin and Vladimir "shady" Karelin to FORZE.
Furthermore, Virtus.pro has placed Vladislav "KusMe" Dmitriev and Alexander "dwushka" Pakhnevich on the transfer list. The organisation has promised to introduce a new youth roster in September of this year.
