Roman Dvoryankin, Virtus.pro General Manager, commentaries:

«The end of the year has been really intense, and today we're happy to announce signing two more players for our LoL roster. Our Top laner is Doxy. He is an excellent team player who has already competed for Virtus.pro at the LCL Open Cup at the LCL Open Cup in Saint Petersburg. The jungler for the team is Ilya Grom — perhaps the most talented young player in the CIS. As an organization, we will do our best to help him reveal his full potential. We are currently working with our colleagues from Riot Games. Hopefully, we will be able to announce the tournaments we are going to participate in very soon.»
