Artem “⁠iDISBALANCE⁠” Egorov, Rassim “⁠Jyo⁠” Valijev, and Sanzhar “⁠def1zer⁠” Talgat have been brought in to reinforce the CIS team, which had been depleted to just two players following the departures of Vladislav “⁠FinigaN⁠” Usov, Timur “⁠clax⁠” Sabirov and Bogdan “⁠xsepower⁠” Chernikov from the active roster.

Young gun def1zer is the roster’s new blood, with his only HLTV match before linking up with the K23 squad being an appearance for Kazakhstan U18 in September, where the 17-year-old posted a 1.45 rating.
