The 22-year-old is officially a free agent after having been benched for the past month.

Entropiq announced on their official Twitter account on Monday that Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev, who had been on the bench for the past month, has officially become a free agent citing mutual agreement.

The move puts an end to a year-long partnership between the 22-year-old rifler and his team, which saw Entropiq rise all the way to a peak of ninth in HLTV.org's world rankings following high placings at various competitions such as finishing first at the Pinnacle Fall Series 2, second at the V4 Future Sports Festival, and placing in the top 11 at the PGL Major Stockholm.

Lack1 is now in free agency after a year with Entropiq

Despite the success shared by Lack1 and the Czech organization over the past year, the results haven't piled up recently with an early exit in the playoffs of ESL Pro League, along with failing to qualify for both the PGL Major Antwerp and ESL Challenger Valencia completely.

Ahead of REPUBLEAGUE Season 3, Entropiq announced their first roster change since early 2021 with the signing of Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov whose contract with Spirit had just expired. The deal would see the 26-year-old become the squad's fifth member on the active roster, effectively moving Lack1 to the bench.

Since then, Lack1 has taken part in an ESEA Cash Cup under INDE IRAE, helping the Russian side take home second overall and $1,000 in prize money.

Entropiq's current lineup is as follows:
