Dexerto: Virtus.pro to play at ESL Pro League Season 15 under Outsiders banner

All the Virtus.pro players will take part in the fifteenth season of the ESL Pro League under the name Outsiders, according to Dexerto's sources. At the time of publication of the material, the representatives of the Russian club or the esports athletes themselves did not confirm this information.

Playing under a neutral name is a necessary measure after ESL banned the team from participating in the league under their usual name due to the organization's ties to the Russian government. The ban was issued amid the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine.

After the disqualification, Virtus.pro management publicly criticized the ESL's decision, but stated that they would not prohibit their players from playing in a neutral status.

At the moment, there is no information about whether Gambit will take part at ESL Pro League Season 15. Just like Virtus.pro, Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov's squad will be able to join the competition only if they decide not to represent their organization.

The next ESL Pro League season will take place from March 9 to April 10. The tournament with a prize pool of $823,000 will be held in the ESL's studio area in Dusseldorf, Germany.
