Perfecto Leaves Virtus.pro and Enters Transfer Market — CS2 Star “Looking for Other Options”

Virtus.pro have confirmed that Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy is no longer part of the active CS2 roster and has been placed on the transfer list after deciding to pursue new opportunities.

The player stated that the decision came from him personally, explaining that he chose to explore other options for his career and is now open to offers from teams.

Perfecto also thanked Virtus.pro for their cooperation and the opportunity to represent the legendary esports organization.

Perfecto wants to return to anchor and lurker roles

One of the most important details from the announcement is Perfecto’s role preference moving forward.

The former NAVI star confirmed that he is looking to return to his traditional anchor and lurker roles, which helped him become one of the most reliable support players in Counter-Strike.

This signals that he does not plan to continue as a full-time in-game leader, a role he temporarily filled during his time in Virtus.pro.

Virtus.pro pause tournaments to rebuild roster

Virtus.pro revealed that the team will temporarily step away from tournaments while conducting deeper trials and searching for a new captain.

This move suggests the organization is preparing for a major roster rebuild, rather than making small adjustments.

The club did not provide a timeline for when the updated lineup will debut.

Results with Perfecto in Virtus.pro

Perfecto joined Virtus.pro in summer 2025 as part of the organization’s attempt to stabilize its roster after multiple changes.

During this period, the team participated in several events but failed to finish higher than 5–8th place and notably missed the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025.

These results likely played a role in the upcoming restructuring.

From NAVI champion to CS2 free agent again

Perfecto is best known for his legendary run with NAVI, where he won multiple tier-1 trophies and became famous for his clutch ability and elite support play.

His move to Virtus.pro in 2025 marked his return to the server after a long break from competitive play.

Earlier interviews highlighted how difficult the transfer market can be, with Perfecto previously noting that potential deals often fall through due to buyouts or role conflicts.

Now, he enters the market once again — this time actively looking for a new team.

What’s next for Perfecto?

With his experience, championship pedigree, and flexibility in supportive roles, Perfecto instantly becomes one of the most valuable CS2 free agents available.

Teams searching for a stable anchor, clutch player, or veteran presence could see him as a strong pickup in the 2026 roster shuffle.

Virtus.pro, meanwhile, begin the search for a new captain and long-term direction for their CS2 lineup.
