forZe remove Ukrainian trio
Dmitri "hooch" Bogdanov has revealed to HLTV.org that forZe have parted company with all Ukrainian players.
The Russian-based side had been in disarray following reports that forZe had released the entire team after the players decided not to play with Serg "lmbt" Bejanov again.
The decision sees not only Bejanov, but also Kiril "ANGE1" Karasiow and Emil "Kucher" Akhundov become free agents ahead of the New Year.
"We did not achieve the results our organisation asked for, so the organisation decided it would be better to stick with a Russian line-up and bring in some young guys into the team," Bogdanov told HLTV.org.
forZe added Ukrainian blood for the first time in October, when coach Bejanov stepped up to the place to become an active player, before bringing in two more in the space of a week.
The team finished in third place of their group in the IEM5 European Championship, losing 2-0 to Full-Gaming in the Relegation Stage.
forZe have postponed all of their Intel Challenge Super Cup 7 matches as they will be testing some new players in the New Year's Show tournament 2010 before.
Former Good Management and Virtus.pro player Nikita "Dio" Trifonov has been confirmed by Bogdanov as one of the players his team are currently testing, as they plan to "check what form he is in now."
forZe currently have:
Aleksey "HEL1" Novikov
Dmitri "hooch" Bogdanov
Nikita "Dio" Trifonov (trial)
