Possible Transition of FL4MUS to Virtus.pro in Counter-Strike 2 Gains New Details
On the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene, rumors are intensifying about the possible return of Russian esports athlete Timur "FL4MUS" Mariev to the Virtus.pro roster. According to insider information, the 21-year-old sniper may leave OG and return to his home club.
Danish Failure and Lack of Trophies
Mariev's assignment in Europe turned out to be frankly weak in terms of results. FL4MUS joined the OG roster in November 2025 on loan. During all this time, the team failed to win a single title in online championships. The only somewhat notable achievement was the performance at the LAN event DreamHack Knockout Stockholm 2025, where the team only managed to reach 3rd-4th place.
Current Contract and Sad Statistics
A return to the "bears" camp seems like a logical step from a legal point of view, but raises fair questions about his in-game form. Timur still has a valid contract with Virtus.pro, whose colors he defended from December 2024 to June 2025. FL4MUS's previous run under the VP tag can hardly be called successful: the team was left without trophies and spectacularly missed the playoffs of the BLAST Austin Major tournament. The player's average rating for the entire year of 2025 was a very modest 0.97, so the community can only guess whether he can strengthen the roster upon his return.
The day before, the well-known English-speaking analyst Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg delivered a harsh take, categorically forbidding the management of Natus Vincere from even thinking about replacing coach Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy. However, the expert did not spare the team's sniper Igor "w0nderful" Zhdanov at all, mercilessly criticizing his individual statistics in Counter-Strike 2 and noting a serious in-game regression.
Earlier, the promising Swedish wunderkind from the current Alliance Counter-Strike 2 roster finally broke his silence and tried to justify his frankly weak performance in his previous team, Metizport. The young esports athlete honestly named the main reasons for the failed statistics, did not hide the harsh behind-the-scenes difficulties and problems with adaptation.
