Virtus Pro Secures Long-Term Future with Four-Year Extension for Counter-Strike Star Jame

Under the leadership of CEO Nikolai Petrossian, Virtus Pro has recognized Jame's invaluable contributions to the team's achievements and identified him as the backbone of their lineup. In an official press release, Petrossian emphasized Jame's exceptional understanding of the game, tactical prowess, and individual skill, describing the decision to extend his contract as one of the organization's most crucial tasks.

Jame, who has played a pivotal role in Virtus Pro's success, expressed his loyalty to the organization, referring to it as his "second home." The extension decision was seemingly effortless for the talented player, further solidifying his commitment to Virtus Pro's vision.

As the CS:GO community braces for a significant free agency period following the Paris Major and the impending launch of CS2, Virtus Pro's proactive move to secure Jame's future reflects their intent to build a stable and formidable lineup. With their recent victory in the ESL Challenger Katowice event, reclaiming their spot in the ESL Pro League by defeating ENCE, Virtus Pro has demonstrated their resilience and competitiveness on the international stage.

Virtus Pro's journey has not been without its challenges. Previously, due to the owner's associations with sanctioned Russian entities, the team had to compete under the tag Outsiders during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, their determination shone through as they clinched the IEM Rio Major, an exceptional accomplishment led by Jame's MVP performance. Earlier this year, the VP brand was reinstated, signifying a fresh chapter in their storied history.

Jame's unique combination of in-game shotcalling and AWPing proficiency makes him a rare gem in the world of Counter-Strike. At only 24 years old, Virtus Pro harbors high hopes that Jame's exceptional skill set will pave the way for even greater achievements when CS2 launches later this year.
