According to rumors, gpk intended to join Virtus.pro but was not released from his contract with Gambit. In the worst case for gpk, the 18-year old pro player could not be allowed to participate in any professional matches and tournaments until his contract ends in 2021. While these allegations have not been confirmed yet, VP announced that they indeed changed their roster as well.

Their new addition fn already played for Gambit at the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor in March 2019 and skyrocketed to the second place of the tournament. However, apart from support and captain Artem ‘fng’ Barshack the roster was completely different back then.
