Bogdan "xsepower" Chernikov and Vladislav "FinigaN" Usov have been sacked from K23 and the operational body has opened them to availability for transfer with instant action. These two gamers have been permitted to forage for new squad options after their poor performance in K23's unsuccessful feat for qualification in the IEM Rio Major. The sudden action has been taken because of K23's defeat in the IEM Road to Rio Europe RMR, where they were narrowly missing the qualification spot in the Major in the 2-2 decider round by BIG following a crucial and highly coveted three-map series.
xsepower has averaged a 1.10 rating during his stint with a Kazakhstani organisation where he facilitated the team in making deep runs in several online titles. FinigaN recently onboarded the squad in August to replace the Evil Geniuses-bound Sanzhar "neaLaN" Iskhakov. Although, it is unfortunate that he had to experience such an abrupt end.
