Evgeny “Norwi” Ermolin and coach Artem “Fierce” Ivanov joined forZe on Tuesday.
Norwi and Fierce were part of the BEZ ZP roster that Singularity acquired in September. Norwi, 20, joined Singularity on Sept. 7.
“I’m excited for the opportunity in forZe, and I’m happy that Team Singularity have agreed to transfer me even though I’ve only been with them for a short period and came together with the rest of the BEZ ZP squad,” Norwi said. “… I wish my teammates all the best and hope for them and Team Singularity to find success in the future.”
Sergei “MegioN” Ignatko, CEO of forZe Esports, said the organization had its eyes on Fierce for a while.
“Our management followed Fierce for a long time and when the time came we offered him to join us. We can say that we know him well,” MegioN said. “Norwi is a promising young player with good game statistics, who suited us in all game parameters. Fierce also recommended him as a player who will be useful in the updated roster.”
The all-Russian roster for forZe consists of Norwi, Andrey “Jerry” Mekhryakov, Aleksandr “zorte” Zagodyrenko and Aleksandr “KENSI” Gurkin. Fierce is the coach.
On Monday, forZe parted ways with Evgeny “?FL1T?” Lebedev, Almaz “?almazer?” Asadullin and coach Anatoliy “?liTTle?” Yashin after the team didn’t qualify for the PGL Major in Stockholm.
