ieS Virtual Gaming has announced the release of Belarussian Night Elf player, Vladislav "Frozen" Baranov. ieS has picked up Baranov after his departure from Praetoriani, however his stay was short lived due to his failure in fulfilling his duties and commitments to the team.

With Baranov out, ieS was left without one of their starting soloers. They quickly found a strong replacement in the rising Ukrainian talent, Artem "Tresh" Mosyakin. In a recent interview, Mosyakin had stated he had no plans on parting ways with his former team PlanetPod, however, due to the recent roster changes occurring in ppod, he felt it was the right time to make a move.

"After playing two years in ppod.Hama, it came time for me to change the environment. My main aim has always been the WC3L, that is why I am searching for a good team with a good and stable lineup, which I didn't see in ppod nowadays."

Mosyakin's recent performance has put him as Ukraine's third best player, behind ENC teammates Mykhaylo "SK.HoT" Novopashyn and Valentine "srs`FiX" Krulikovsky. After leading ppod to many victories, Mosyakin hopes to continue his successes under his new team.

"I think that together with ieS and their players, we will be able to reach success and I hope we qualify for the WC3L."

Along with the recent addition of Michael "Giacomo" Hladik, as well as Antoine "CaMeliriS" Tamano and Mikaël "BlaST" Miesch from WeiRdWoRld serving as the team's new 2v2 duo, ieS is ready for the upcoming WC3L Qualifiers.

UPDATE: Tresh has decided to retract his decision of leaving PlanetPod. After joining the ieS rosters on ESL, he has now left and rejoined ppod.
