The Counter-Strike 2 community was abuzz with excitement as news broke of Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy's transfer to Virtus.pro. The former Natus Vincere player, who had been a cornerstone of the Ukrainian organization's success, is now set to don the VP jersey in what many consider a strategic move for both parties.

Nikolai Petrosyan, Virtus.pro's General Manager, spoke exclusively to SkinsMonkey Magazine about the acquisition, expressing his confidence in Perfecto's ability to elevate the team's performance. "Perfecto has consistently demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism throughout his career," Petrosyan stated. "His experience at the highest level of competition, combined with his unwavering dedication to improvement, makes him an invaluable addition to our roster."

The transfer represents a significant milestone in Perfecto's career, marking his transition from one of the most successful organizations in CS2 history to a team with ambitious plans for the future. Petrosyan emphasized that Perfecto's motivation to return to tier-1 competition was a key factor in VP's decision to pursue the transfer. "We were impressed by his determination to continue competing at the highest level," he explained. "His hunger for success and willingness to adapt to new challenges align perfectly with our team's philosophy."

Perfecto's arrival at Virtus.pro comes at a crucial time for the organization, as they look to establish themselves as a dominant force in the competitive CS2 scene. His extensive experience in major tournaments, including multiple Major victories with NAVI, brings invaluable knowledge and leadership to the VP squad. Petrosyan believes that Perfecto's presence will not only improve the team's in-game performance but also contribute to the development of younger players on the roster.

The Russian player's transfer has generated significant discussion within the esports community, with many analysts predicting that this move could revitalize both Perfecto's career and Virtus.pro's competitive standing. As the team prepares for upcoming tournaments, all eyes will be on how this new partnership develops and whether Perfecto can help VP achieve their ambitious goals in the 2025 season.
