RAMZES666 and 9pasha to reportedly set up a new team

Fn played for Live to Win (now AS Monaco Gambit) for nearly four months before he was replaced by No[o]ne earlier today. On the other hand, Misha is on the bench for Team Spirit in the CIS 2021 DPC Season 1: Upper Division, and it would be interesting to see if he leaves the team to join RAMZES666 and the team.
