"One of the best Quake players in the world, Belarus Alexey “Cypher” Yanushevsky, has joined Virtus.pro and will represent our organization at QuakeCon. American and European teams showed an avid interest in the Belarusian player, who eventually chose in favor of Virtus.pro, with which he has signed a year-long contract.
Statement from Cypher
The terms that Virtus.pro offered me were definitely no worse than those of American teams. Besides, I wasn’t particularly eager to move; I wanted to stay in Minsk. I’m not going to make up any tales about being a lifelong Virtus.pro fan, but I know this organization’s history well, and I like the way it’s developing.
