The Russian star was looking for a new challenge following his dismissal from Virtus.pro, who found in Mykhailo "kane" Blagin a better option for the fifth spot.

ForZe had been linked with roster changes for quite some time now after subpar displays in several local tournaments.

Filimonchenko is delighted to have joined the ranks of forZe, and believes that his new squad will mount a serious challenge in upcoming tournaments.

"When we arrived at the airport two days ago after showmatches in Kaliningrad, LeX and the other guys from Virtus.pro came to me and told me that I would be released from the team for unintelligible reasons," he told GotFrag.com.

"I respect their decision, they have decided their way by themselves."

"I know all the guys from forZe very well, I have been through a lot with them and I believe in them, so I think there is nothing else to say, our results will show everything."

ForZe's captain, Andrey "XomA" Mironenko, is confident that this addition will strengthen the team, saying: "We had some problems with a fifth player for a long time, we tried a lot of different players, but when the news about Sally's release came to us, we knew that he had to be our fifth player.

"He is friends with everyone in the team and he is a really skilled and talented player. We will try to get back the support of our fans and show great results."

ForZe has now the following line-up:

Russia

Andrey "XomA" Mironenko
Russia

Boris "Snoop" Podvalshchikov
Russia

Aleksey "HEL1" Novikov
Russia

Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov
Russia

Viktor "Sally" Filimonchenko

Best of luck to forZe, they sure as hell have the talent now... if only the past Virtus players can find their mojo again..

mTw.dk = mortal Teamwork indeed.

4 guys from virtus ;]

Yeah 4 former players from Virtus but still missing the best : LeX.

sick team

they should get the virtus pro name back instead of the team with 4 ukranians having it lolol

It will be hard to change LeX, as like Hooch, cause these players are the best

this is a very nice team and I wanna see them play Virtus Pro :)

where is johan k???

forze the new vp

One day, a legend will rise from the grave, and show us the way.

Maybe it was LeX or VP that was causing the internal problems in the old VP roster. None the less, this team looks amazing. Hopefully they can change Russia's status in the world rankings and pull through on a few up and coming tournaments. Best of luck to the newly improved (and for the better I might add) forZe.

Why is it that every since forZe recruited the Virtus players in 07 they haven't attended sh*t?

Go to some tournies forZe jeez.

GL to Sally and Forze. But imho Virtus pro line-up is now a way better than Forze. 1.5 year ago former VP line-up (Snoop ; Lex ; HEL1; F_1N; Sally) lost against pro100 team (Kane; Zeus ; Edward ; Razor ; KEKC) with a big score in Asus cup. And it's obvious that pro100 was better then.

Now it's Virtus pro (Kane; Zeus; Edward + RomJke & Lex)

I hope finally we are going to see stable line-ups of teams. I personally do not care whether smb is Russian or Ukranian on the line-up, for me we are all brothers. Gl to forZe and I hope Virtus will recover their performance
