Following the failure of KPI Gaming to qualify for the most important tournament of the year, the Ascension, rumors are spreading about a significant reduction in the organization's funding. This has probably already affected the team, as the most titled player is leaving the main roster.
Vladyslav "Kiles" Shvets announced his decision after the VALORANT Champions Tour 2024: Ascension EMEA Play-Ins, where KPI Gaming took second place, missing out on the opportunity to qualify for the Ascension. His contract with the organization has ended, and he is ready to consider offers from other teams.
The active KPI Gaming roster now looks like this:
- Vitaliy "B1SK" Emelyanov
- Artem "insider" Puzanov
- Mikalai "zeddy" Lapko
- Ștefan "Sayonara" Mîtcu
According to rumors circulating around the team, these are not the last changes to be expected. The owners have decided to reduce funding after another failure of the team to enter the franchise league.
