b1st to stand in for Virtus.pro at CS Asia Championships 2025

Vladimir “b1st” Krasikov from the youth VP.Prodigy roster will temporarily join Virtus.pro’s main CS2 team. He will take over the AWP role at CS Asia Championships 2025, replacing Kaisar “ICY” Faiznurov, who will miss the tournament. 

The decision was made together with the players and coaching staff: the team wants to test a new AWPer and give the young player an opportunity to prove himself on the international stage. 

ICY has not been benched and remains part of the main roster.
