Aurora puts its entire roster on bench

Esports organization Aurora has put its entire Counter-Strike 2 roster on the bench. The club officially announced this via its X social media account.

Aurora's management did not explain the reasons for this decision, but it was made after the squad did not earn enough VRS points to secure an invite to the European qualifier for BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.

The team recently took first place in the Galaxy Battle 2025 STARTER online tournament, but failed to qualify for the BetBoom LanDaLan #2 LAN event in Moscow. The roster currently occupies 33rd place in HLTV ranking. It is not yet known whether the players will continue to compete together.

 Aurora are now:

 Evgeny "⁠Norwi⁠" Ermolin
 Aleksandr "⁠KENSI⁠" Gurkin
 Timur "clax" Sabirov
 Gleb "gr1ks" Gazin
 Robert "Patsi" Isyanov

 Andrey "XomA" Mironenko (coach)
