Byali Departs Virtus.Pro

Paweł "byali" Bieliński has left Virtus.pro, his organization of more than five years, according to a report Tuesday from HLTV.

Byali left the team after the FACEIT London major but returned in December. He signed a termination agreement Monday, HLTV reported, the same day as he posted what appeared to be part of that agreement on social media.

Byali was part of the famous Virtus.pro lineup with Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas, Filip "NEO" Kubski, Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski and Jarosław "pashaBiceps" Jarząbkowski, which played together for more than four years before breaking up in February 2018. The group won the ESL One Katowice Major in 2014 and as recently as February 2017 was ranked as one of the best teams in the world by HLTV, but the lineup suffered a steep decline in form throughout the rest of 2017.

With Byali's departure, Snax is the only remaining member of the fabled Virtus.pro roster. He is flanked by Michał "MICHU" Müller, Michał "Snatchie" Rudzki, Arkadiusz "Vegi" Nawojski and Michał "OKOLICIOUZ" Głowaty.
