Counter-Strike: Sally leaves forZe

By: Luis Mira - Published October 21, 2008 at 6:15 PM EDT - Writer Archive

Viktor "Sally" Filimonchenko has decided to abandon the ranks of forZe, GotFrag.com understands.

The Russian star joined forZe in June following Virtus.pro's decision to replace him with Ukrainian talent Mykhailo "kane" Blagin.

Filimonchenko enjoyed moderate success at forZe, having watched his team fail to qualify for the Extreme Masters league and, more recently, for the World Cyber Games, losing to Putb at the Quarter-finals.

According to him, the team's poor results made him put an end to an association that lasted for five months.

"I want to play with guys that want to win and that do their best for this, not like just talk for nothing" he told GotFrag.com.

"I made this decision like two hours ago, I have not had the time to search for a new team yet."

This leaves forZe with the following line-up:

Russia

Andrey "XomA" Mironenko
Russia

Boris "Snoop" Podvalshchikov
Russia

Aleksey "HEL1" Novikov
Russia

Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov

bad :(

"I want to play with guys that want to win and that do their best for this, not like just talk for nothing"

he's probably not going to find a better team

i guess he can maybe only hope to rejoin with virtus eventually but that's not very likely; the new vp lineup is pretty solid

forze has talent but no motivation. he will be able to find a better russian team for sure but its too bad because this forze lineup had alot of international exp.

IM A KIXER FAN

fallen legend =(

Unsung hero ;)...watch virtus.pro 2005 video for the imba deagles n awp of Viktor.Fck!

he has a point
most of those guys were kicked off virtus for lack of training/motivation
you cant have a team with 4 semi-retired guys who plays 2 maps per weekend if you want to win
its best for sally to go back to a mid-talented team that at least is trying

mTw.dk = mortal Teamwork indeed.

#6 viktor is one of the best deagles in virtus.pro history, and that says a lot :D
but he's way too inconsistant for international level

mTw.dk = mortal Teamwork indeed.

It's a real shame those players can't get it together properly and compete on a high level cos they have some really good players who I imagine a lot of people underestimate in terms of raw skill because they have been so inconsistent in terms of showing it when it counts.
