Virtus.pro have categorically refuted a number of stories that suggest that their current Dota 2 squad will be disbanding entirely in the upcoming weeks. <\/p>\n
Additionally, they debunked the claim that Vitalie “Save” Melnic had been offered a buyout of one million dollars. <\/p>\n
It was rumoured the player who helped the team finish in the top five in TI10<\/a> had been moved to the inactive bench, and other teams have been expressing interest in acquiring the player.<\/p>\n “The information is not true. There was not a single request for Vitalie “Save-” Melnic during all that time,” VP said.<\/p>\n “The management of Virtus.pro responsibly approaches all incoming requests and sensibly assesses the transfer market.”<\/p>\n VP also provided a brief overview of typical valuation when it comes to the worth of a Dota 2 esports<\/a> contract, indicating that the majority of the top players in the current transfer market for the gaming community will have a threshold of between $100,000 and $120,000, unless the situation is unusual.<\/p>\n “The rumored $1 mln is an absolutely fantastic amount for the Dota 2 transfer market. These sums can be found in CS:GO<\/a>, and only for the most talented, star players. In Dota 2, the upper bar for a player is about $100k\u2014$120k,” the organization said.<\/p>\n A statement made by Egor “Xakoda” Lipartiya, one of VP’s support players, also contributed to the public’s belief that the Dota 2 roster of the organization would be undergoing significant changes. Because VP failed three times in a row to meet the requirements for TI11, he thought that the team might have to change its roster.<\/p>\n “On the alleged roster changes in the VP Dota lineup, no decision has been made yet,” VP said.<\/p>\n “We are considering several options to rebuild the team. Wait for the official information.”<\/p>\n
