OG Esports is expected to secure the services of Timur "FL4MUS" Maryev on loan, according to sources close to Sheep Esports. The Russian player, who has been benched by Virtus.Pro since late June, is now set to join a new project for a while, a roster that recently welcomed Casper "cadiaN" Møller. Still according to our sources,FL4MUS is already fixed, if OG want to sign him after the loan. With this new in-game leader and the addition of FL4MUS, the European organization is aiming to recover after recently missing out on qualification for the StarLadder Major in Budapest.

To complete the Counter-Strike 2 roster of the club that won The International twice on Dota, this duo is therefore replacing two recently sidelined players. The two Danes, Christoffer "Chr1zN" Storgaard and Nico "nicoodoz" Tamjidi, have indeed been benched since October 30.

FL4MUS, who was transferred from GamersLegion to Virtus.Pro for nearly a million, only spent six months playing for the Russian side before being benched. During this period, the team failed to shine and, interestingly, has not found success without him either. In 2025, Virtus.Pro failed to achieve notable results, logically missing out—like OG—on qualifying for the upcoming Major.

A new start for OG

He now joins OG, a team that also missed its shot at the StarLadder Major. The arrival of such a respected in-game leader could inject new momentum into the project. Alongside these roster moves, OG has renewed its commitment to the CS2 scene, aiming to reassure potential recruits about its ambitions. Their immediate target is to break into Valve’s top 16, which would guarantee a slot at the Major.

Currently just outside the Top 30 in both HLTV and Valve rankings, OG failed to advance beyond the opening stage at the Austin Major and has struggled to make a significant impact internationally throughout 2025. Nonetheless, the roster has collected some notable wins, capturing victories at CCT events and claiming the DracuLan #2 title.
