9 Pandas and Aurora finally complete player trade deal

Esports organizations 9 Pandas and Aurora have finally managed to come to an agreement regarding the player trade. This means that Evgeny "r3salt" Frolov has rejoined 9 Pandas, while Timur "clax" Sabirov – Aurora. 9 Pandas announced this in an official statement published on Telegram.

9 Pandas finally managed to reach an agreement on the transfer of Evgeny "r3salt" Frolov. We thank Aurora's management for the prompt dialogue and willingness to consider compromises!

Despite the fact that the initial conditions of the transfer could not be fulfilled due to a number of hitches, today we were able to offer an alternative solution that suited both clubs. And we are pleased to inform that 9 Pandas and Aurora have finalized the transfer agreement and confirmed the deal. Evgeny "r3salt" Frolov has finally joined 9 Pandas, while Timur "slax" Sabirov – Aurora.

According to insider Alexey "OverDrive" Birukov, r3salt independently bought out his contract from Aurora, due to which the clubs were eventually able to complete the transfer negotiations.

Note that a few days ago, Aurora and 9 Pandas announced a player trade: clax moved to Aurora, while r3salt joined 9 Pandas. However, today Aurora told about the cancellation of the transfer due to "non-fulfilment of all agreed-upon terms of the deal".

The 9 Pandas roster has already kicked off its journey in the closed qualifier for the Europe RMR. Aurora, in turn, received a direct invite to RMR, which will take place in November of this year.
