While a part of Complexity celebrated the win, they know it’s far from what they want to achieve.

PARAVISION's F_1N Moved To Inactive Roster Before Shanghai Major
On November 6th, 2024, PARAVISION moved their head coach, Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov, to their inactive roster. Given that the Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR is just a few weeks away, coupled with F_1N’s recent controversy, the reason seems a bit too obvious. Some speculate, including Russian insider Alexey "OverDrive" Birukov, that part of the reason pertains to the fact that former Virtus.pro skipper Dastan "dastan" Akbayev is now available. Even though F_1N was registered as the team’s coach for the RMR, dastan would still be able to assist the team outside of matches.
