According to new rumors, Nikolay Petrosyan will leave the position of CEO of the club, and his place is expected to be taken by ESforce executive director Alexander Bakratovich.<\/p>\n<p>For now, this is not an official announcement from the organization, so the situation should be treated specifically as a rumor. But the news hook itself looks significant: this is not about changing a player or a coach, but about a potential leadership update at one of the most famous clubs in esports.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A possible CEO change at Virtus.pro<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main detail in this story is simple: Nikolay Petrosyan, according to rumors, may leave the position of CEO of Virtus.pro. Alexander Bakratovich, who works as the executive director of ESforce, is being named as his potential successor.<\/p>\n<p>For Virtus.pro, such a reshuffle could have strategic significance. A CEO in an esports club is not just a media-facing position, but a person who influences the organization\u2019s development direction, financial decisions, transfer policy, partnerships, and overall brand communication.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/9z-climbed-into-the-top-6-of-the-world-cs2-team-ranking\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55157521780_44cfd706d9_k.jpg.webp\" alt=\"9z climbed into the top 6 of the world CS2 team ranking\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/9z-climbed-into-the-top-6-of-the-world-cs2-team-ranking\">9z climbed into the top 6 of the world CS2 team ranking<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/9z-climbed-into-the-top-6-of-the-world-cs2-team-ranking\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1784019499#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1784019499#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1784019499#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jul 14<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Why this matters for the club<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Virtus.pro remains an organization with a great history, but recent years have taken place for the club in a difficult competitive environment. Teams are constantly fighting not only for results on the server, but also for their place in the global ecosystem, where stability, reputation, finances, and the ability to react quickly to market changes all matter.<\/p>\n<p>That is why a potential CEO change may be not just a personnel decision, but part of a broader restructuring. If Bakratovich really takes charge of Virtus.pro, it may signal the club\u2019s desire to strengthen its management vertical and better synchronize with the business side of the holding.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The role of ESforce in this story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is also important separately that the likely new CEO is being named as a representative of ESforce. This adds extra context to the rumor, because this is not about someone from the outside, but about a manager who is already inside the broader structure connected to the club.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_405511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-405511\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-405511\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20250207_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Katowice_06557.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20250207_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Katowice_06557.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20250207_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Katowice_06557-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20250207_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Katowice_06557-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20250207_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Katowice_06557-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20250207_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Katowice_06557-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-405511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by ESL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Such an option looks logical from the point of view of control and continuity.
