Virtus.pro has unveiled a new team composed entirely of former Overwatch professionals who transitioned to Marvel Rivals after its successful release in December. The squad includes duelists William ‘SparkR’ Andersson and Philip ‘phi’ Handke, strategists Mikkel ‘Sypeh’ Klein and Arthur ‘dridro’ Szanto, and Vanguard player Andreas ‘Nevix’ Karlsson, all of whom were previously part of TeamCats.
This roster made a significant mark last year, becoming the EU Champions during Marvel Rivals Championship Season 0. They are now joined by Finnbjörn ‘Finnsi’ Jónasson.
“We’re thrilled to join Virtus.pro as a team! We’re eager to collaborate, grow, and make a lasting impact in Marvel Rivals,” Nevix shared.
Founded in 2003, Virtus.pro has a strong presence in esports, competing in titles like Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Rainbow Six: Siege, and Apex Legends. The organization is partnered with electronics brand Thunderobot and clothing company Kappa.
Virtus.pro CEO Nikolai Petrossian expressed confidence in the new lineup: “We’ve signed a strong roster capable of competing for top spots in major tournaments. Their goal is to win their debut event and set the stage for future success.” Petrossian also emphasized that the team's competitive performance, alongside the growth of the Marvel Rivals scene, will influence Virtus.pro’s ongoing investment in the game.
