Virtus.pro CEO Explains Reasons for CS2 Coach Changes

Virtus.pro CEO Nikolay Petrosyan commented on the frequent changes in the team`s CS2 coaching staff over the past year. His remarks were made during an interview with Erik `Shoke` Shokov.

Dastan gave everything he could to the roster with Jame. PASHANOJ was a temporary replacement for one tournament; he had no illusions about a permanent role. We parted ways with Xoma quickly because the roster simply wasn`t working.

Providing context for these changes, the article notes that in May 2024, Virtus.pro replaced Dastan `dastan` Akbayev, who had been the coach since the signing of the Dzhami `Jame` Ali-led roster in December 2019. Andrey `Xoma` Mironenko then took over, but he left the club in September 2024, passing his duties to Pavel `PASHANOJ` Legostaev. PASHANOJ was subsequently removed from the team in April 2025, with Ivan `F_1N` Kochugov stepping into the coaching role.
