The debut tournament of VP.Prodigy was a success as the team claimed first place in Parimatch League Season 2 Relegation. It was followed by two championship titles with wins in the StayHome Challenge and Gaming World. While those victories came against weaker competition, VP.Prodigy showed that it’s a world-class team by taking second in the WePlay! Pushka League.

A strong case can be made that the Virtus.pro organization has the two strongest teams in the CIS region playing under its banner. It will be fun to see what VP.Prodigy is capable of once international competition resumes.
