Seven months since its inception, VP.Prodigy has now been promoted to Virtus.pro’s main Dota 2 team.
VP.Prodigy was subject to a fair amount of roster changes in its short history with Illias “illias” Ganeev and Danil “gpk” Skutin coming in for Rostislav “fn” Lozovoy and Albert “yume” Garaev. Their current lineup is now comprised of:
- Egor “epileptick1d” Grigorenko
- Danil “gpk” Skutin
- Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin
- Vitalie “Save-” Melnic
- Illias “illias” Ganeev

“We launched VP.Prodigy roster with one main goal — to give young talents a chance for development on the pro-scene. This team had already shown some phenomenal results by this moment: reached grand finals in five out of seven tournaments and won three of them. We had two strong rosters, though at the same time we were limited in tournament options,” said Virtus.pro CEO Sergey Glamazda in a statement.
“By the end of September, we faced a tough choice: to once again update our first roster or to invest in VP.Prodigy and put our faith in new blood,” he added. “Today we transfer the VP.Prodigy squad to our first Dota 2 team.”
