I think you’ve all already noticed the changes in our roster—our coach, Griga “balblna,” is leaving us. I am immensely grateful to him for the dedication he poured into me and the advice he gave me both in the game and in life, because he is one of those people I met at the beginning of my career who was like a father to me. He taught me a lot; I truly grew as a person and as a player thanks to Griga. If it weren’t for him—who knows, maybe we’d still be stuck in the world’s top 200.
I remember your words during and after the worst stretch of my career, the Astana series; I remember everything I promised you but haven’t been able to deliver yet. I’m so *** [really] proud of the work you’ve done, and I’m sure everyone on the team appreciates it—after all, you started working with us when we didn’t even know how competitive Counter-Strike worked.
And I’m sure we’ll see each other on the server many more times. See you soon!!! <...>
Earlier, K27 announced that balblna was stepping down as coach—analyst Dmitry “Twizell” Rygin will take over coaching duties for the upcoming tournaments. The team is currently ranked 37th in the VRS world rankings.
