　　After a disappointing 2013, VP captain and support player Yaroslav 'NS' made it known on the 1st of December that he had had enough with competitive gaming, leaving behind a total of eight years of activity in the scene and citing that he was simply burnt out with Dota. Or so we were all told until today, when Kuznetsov's name suddenly appeared in an announcement from VP where he was labeled as part of the team's current line-up.

　　Even though VP has now secured a support player, they are still in need of a permanent replacement for the off-lane position, as Dmitriy 'LightOfHeaven' Kupriyanov was removed from the line-up in late 2013 after not being able to adapt to the rest of the squad. Currently Egor 'JotM' Surkov is acting as a stand-in in Kupriyanov's stead.

　　Current Virtus.Pro roster:
