forZe have been one of the CIS's top teams, only suffering losses to No Pressure No Pressure Inactive Cloud Kirill Nehozhin Duno Mikhail Fokin arch Vladyslav Svistov 7ssk7 Artur Kurshin dinkzj Denis Tkachev (now Natus Vincere Natus Vincere Europe Rank #16 ANGE1 Kyrylo Karasov Shao Andrey Kiprsky Ruxic Uğur Güç hiro Emirhan Kat koalanoob Gianfranco Potestio ) in their last two VCT CIS Stage appearances. In the Stage 3 EMEA Challengers Playoffs, they failed to secure a spot at Masters: Berlin after losses to Guild Esports Guild Esports Inactive and Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Rank #11 paTiTek Patryk Fabrowski kamyk Maks Rychlewski nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin Keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak .

With zeddy and hugeon gone, and Dmitry "SUYGETSU" Ilyushin reportedly in talks with FunPlus Phoenix FunPlus Phoenix Inactive SUYGETSU Dmitry Ilyushin Zyppan Pontus Eek ANGE1 Kyrylo Karasov Shao Andrey Kiprsky ardiis Ardis Svarenieks , forZe's spot in the EMEA LCQ is in jeopardy due to the team not having a core of three players from their most recent tournament appearance. Should SUYGETSU join FunPlus Phoenix, either One Breath Gaming or FPX would inherit forZe's spot.

For One Breath Gaming, this announcement brings Stanislav "Sp1ke" Koshel and Vladislav "minse" Kuzminykh back together, having played on the previous Inactive roster. Though the team only has four members as of publication, their final member will be announced at a later time.

forZe forZe Inactive SUYGETSU Dmitry Ilyushin Art1st Vyacheslav Lyadnov Coffee Nikita Antsypirovich are now:

Dmitry "SUYGETSU" Ilyushin
Vyacheslav "Art1st" Lyadnov
Nikita "Coffee" Antsypirovich
Dmitriy "spirit" Veko (Manager)
Vladimir "Jil" Yasevich (Coach)

Additionally, One Breath Gaming One Breath Gaming Inactive minse Vladislav Kuzminykh zeddy Nikolai Lapko 's roster is:

Stanislav "Sp1ke" Koshel
Vladislav "minse" Kuzminykh
Denis "hugeon" Vasiliev
Nikolai "zeddy" Lapko
Mikhail "simka" Simonov (Manager)

If the FPX Suygetsu move happens before LCQ then FPX should take ForZe's spot since ForZe won't keep 3/5 of their roster like they need to. The "stay with us" at the bottom of ForZe's tweet however makes it seem like they might have some big moves coming up. There's plenty of good CIS FAs out there like trexx, Jady, chiwawa, dimasick, purp0 might not be hard to get, hvoya is an available IGL and spellful but letting go of zeddy who is a great player and was their IGL when they were qualified for LCQ doesn't seem like the best move to me. However, OBG is looking like a team that will challenge NaVi for the #2 spot in CIS as well as ForZe is they make a stacked lineup. They got probably the 2nd best IGL in the region with zeddy, a top 3 jett in CIS with Sp1ke, a solid viper with hugeon and a great sentinel main with minse. Now all they need is a good controller player and they will really be looking deadly. If ForZe makes good roster changes, then the CIS region will be so much more interesting with NaVi, ForZe and OBG all fighting for 2nd and in the position to potentially upset Gambit.
