INFINITE Part Ways With Dytor, Czech Rifler Becomes Free Agent

INFINITE Part Ways With Dytor, Czech Rifler Becomes Free Agent

INFINITE have parted ways with Czech rifler Martin “Dytor” Handl, bringing his six-month spell with the international roster to an end. The 23-year-old is now a free agent, while INFINITE must find a new fifth ahead of their upcoming competitive schedule.

The move was confirmed on September 14, 2026, following a period in which INFINITE slipped from their earlier peak in Valve’s global ranking and missed out in several important LAN qualification campaigns.

INFINITE Part Ways With Dytor

INFINITE officially announced the departure of Dytor on September 14, leaving the organization searching for a fifth player.

According to INFINITE's announcement, Dytor is a free agent and available for a new project. The organization thanked the Czech rifler for his contribution during its push toward greater international relevance. 

Dytor had joined INFINITE on March 18 as part of a major restructuring of the Counter-Strike team. The organization moved away from its previous all-Romanian approach and assembled an international lineup featuring players including Dytor, Rasmus “kreaz” Johansson and Henrich “sl3nd” Hevesi. 

No replacement for Dytor had been confirmed at the time of publication.

Dytor's Time With INFINITE

Dytor's arrival formed part of one of INFINITE's most significant roster changes of 2026.

The international project initially produced encouraging results. HLTV reports that INFINITE collected three tournament victories during the period: United21 League Season 46, Parken Challenger Championship Season 5 and Esplay Elite Gaming Cup. That run helped the team reach a peak of No. 35 in the global Valve Regional Standings. 

Results later became less consistent.

INFINITE moved toward the edge of the global VRS top 50 while also failing to convert several LAN qualification opportunities. The timing therefore makes Dytor's exit particularly significant: the organization is not simply changing a player after a tournament cycle, but doing so immediately before another scheduled event. 

Dytor's recorded 2026 results with INFINITE also include first-place finishes at Parken Challenger Championship Season 5 and Esplay Elite Gaming #1, third place in European Pro League Series 7, and appearances in several CCT, NODWIN and qualifier events. 

INFINITE Roster After Dytor's Departure

Dytor's exit reduces INFINITE's active lineup to four players.

Player Nationality Status
Rasmus “kreaz” Johansson Sweden Active
Raul “Blytz” Gligor Romania Active
Sebastian “volt” Maloș Romania Active
Henrich “sl3nd” Hevesi Hungary Active
TBD TBD Fifth player
Samy “Tionix” von Gehlen Germany Coach

The four-player roster and Tionix as coach were listed by HLTV following the announcement.

This means the organization has an immediate roster decision to make. Whether INFINITE signs a permanent fifth, uses a stand-in or makes a wider restructuring has not been announced.

Dytor Player Profile

Martin “Dytor” Handl is a 23-year-old Czech rifler who has competed professionally since the CS:GO era.

Before INFINITE, much of his recent career was associated with Dynamo Eclot. Liquipedia records his extended Eclot spell from 2022 through the end of 2025, before he joined INFINITE in March 2026.

His previous results include victories at Rainbet Cup and YaLLa Compass Winter 2025 with Eclot, as well as the MČR 2024 title. 

HLTV listed Dytor with a 0.98 Rating 3.0 across 58 maps over the previous three months at the time the roster move was reported. That figure provides recent context but should not be treated as a complete assessment of his INFINITE tenure.

Why the INFINITE–Dytor Split Matters

The most important factor is timing.

INFINITE's international rebuild initially generated tournament wins and pushed the organization as high as No. 35 in the global VRS. The subsequent downturn meant the team entered September trying to recover momentum rather than simply maintain an already successful lineup. 

Changing a rifler creates another variable.

Even when the replacement is a direct positional substitute, CS2 roster changes can affect map positions, CT-side assignments, utility responsibilities and the distribution of space between players. Exactly how INFINITE will reorganize those responsibilities cannot be established until the fifth player is announced and used in official matches.

The move also creates a short preparation window. HLTV listed INFINITE's Logitech G Play Connect 2026 opener against Liquid for September 18 — four days after Dytor's departure was announced. 

Tactical Impact

There is not enough confirmed information to identify INFINITE's exact tactical plan following Dytor's departure.

What can be established is that the team has removed a rifler from a lineup built around kreaz, Blytz, volt and AWPer sl3nd. Any incoming fifth will therefore need to fit into the team's existing structure or force INFINITE to redistribute positions.

The identity of the replacement will determine whether this becomes a relatively direct one-for-one change or a more substantial tactical rebuild.

Until INFINITE announces the fifth player, specific role or map-position changes should be treated as TBD rather than assumed.

Tournament and VRS Impact

INFINITE's earlier international lineup reached No. 35 in the global VRS before dropping toward the edge of the top 50 amid weaker results and unsuccessful qualification attempts, according to HLTV. 

No precise post-transfer VRS impact should be projected without updated official ranking data.

From a tournament perspective, however, the immediate challenge is clear: INFINITE need a competition-ready lineup for Logitech G Play Connect 2026.

Their September 18 matchup against Liquid should provide an early indication of how the organization plans to handle the vacancy. 

What Changes Now?

For INFINITE, the priority becomes completing the five-player roster. The organization has not confirmed whether Dytor's successor will be a permanent signing or a temporary solution.

For Dytor, the situation is more straightforward: he enters free agency. His next destination remains unknown.

His previous experience with Dynamo Eclot and INFINITE gives prospective teams a body of competition across both national and international events to evaluate. 

What to Watch Next

The first development to monitor is INFINITE's fifth-player announcement. With competitive action approaching, confirmation of a replacement or stand-in would clarify the team's immediate direction.

The next questions are how the newcomer fits alongside kreaz, Blytz, volt and sl3nd; whether INFINITE changes any established roles; and where Dytor lands after entering free agency.

The September 18 Liquid match is particularly useful as an early checkpoint because it comes only days after the roster announcement.
