|content=Sergey "lmbt" Bezhanov has departed from [[Companies/Monte|Monte]], as announced by the Ukrainian organization. This leaves Sergiy "DemQQ" Demchenko as the sole Ukrainian player on the roster, alongside four Polish players and Piotr "nawrot" Nawrocki, a former 9INE coach, now serving as an assistant. The team, which communicates primarily in English while DemQQ learns Polish, narrowly missed securing a Shanghai RMR berth after losses to B8, ECLOT, and KOI. Bezhanov, a veteran coach with previous experience at MOUZ and HellRaisers before the pandemic, had been Monte's head coach since January 2023.
