Virtus.Pro’s General Manager said in an official statement that “the current DPC season schedule has taken its toll and as we approach the peak of the season we need to focus on preparation for home Major and The International.” In addition, VP will also play at the Adrenaline Cyber League 2019 in Moscow. This event is also close to ESL One, which further increases the difficulty of playing there.
