Roman Dvoryankin, general manager of Virtus.pro, explained in an interview at Sport FM radio station why the choice between Liverpool or VP for him depends on the circumstances. He also spoke about his acquaintance with Yuri Dudham, his communication with other organizations and the reasons for the decline in the CS:GO composition.

About choosing between Liverpool and Virtus.pro

“It is forbidden to work in many clubs if you are sick of these clubs. That is, in “Liverpool” I definitely will not get. There is such a policy that when fans come, they try not to hire you. People come to me too, you will talk with them, and you see that the main thing for them is to get into e-sports or get into VP. They just get high on the fact that in eSports, and there it does not matter what. That is, they are tried on different positions.

Relatively speaking, Virtus.pro for me now is a matter of a lifetime. I hope and want this period to last as long as possible. But it is obvious that once it will end due to some circumstances there. And Liverpool is a team I have been a fan of since childhood. I have been a member of an official fan club for 12 years. And these are slightly different categories. It's like asking: family or work? That is, depends on the moment. Of course, conditionally, in August, if you asked me a question at that moment - yes, of course, Virtus.pro is more important than a family and what is possible. Just because there are such moments. On vacation, I will say that family is more important.”

About working with other organizations

“The interaction is very working. I just called Kondakov today [Director of Vega Squadron]. I asked him about the guy who sent the resume to the position of editor-producer, in my opinion, yes. And he said: "Yes, great guy, we worked, everything is fine." We communicate with a bunch of teams in the CIS and around the world about the moments that are not directly related to sports. Relatively speaking, when ArtStyle came to us a year and a half ago, I called Wife Zolotarev: "Well, what do you say?". And he said a lot of things.

Hesham, who is the CEO of NiP, we regularly consult each other in ... They wanted the DotA line-up for a long time, and at one time they wanted to sign Resolut1on more than a year ago. He asked me a lot about the level of wages, risks, some other points. Therefore, we always help each other, but only in that it does not concern directly the preparation for matches. Because we are all part of the same market.

Just the other day, we talked with the “Empire” about the fact that Ramzes666 was still not paid out prizes for one of the tournaments, while he was still playing in “The Empire”. But there is no “Empire” has not paid, the tournament itself has not yet paid. We have now agreed on joint action. If they do not appear, we will jointly declare that they are such radishes, "do not have business with them." We will speak with one voice in this regard.

About the composition of CS:GO

The situation is complicated. At the end of last year, we made a decision with the team that we would build a team around young players. And the first step in this plan was the replacement of Viktor [TaZ] to MICHU. This initially played a role. The guys played in the finals of Budapest [V4 Future Sports Festival], offended they lost there because of one round, showed a good game.

Then there was a recession. Unfortunately, it’s a big deal for us ... I can’t say that a blow, for me, Snax’s decision to leave was quite normal. We did not hold it, but nevertheless it is such a rather painful blow to morality. Not morally, but simply we were ready in many ways to build a game around him, but he decided to go to mousesports.
