TDK team captain Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov has announced the addition of Petr "fame" Bolyshev and Andrey "BELCHONOKK" Yasinskiy to the team's starting roster, with the duo set to replace Kirill "Xant3r" Kononov and Amin "sugaR" Azimov.
"I'd like to thank PARIVISION and Virtus.pro for this opportunity," nafany's Telegram post read. "Without their support, this would not have been possible."
The news significantly bolsters TDK's roster ahead of the new season, adding Major-winning experience in the form of fame and a BELCHONOKK who won BLAST Bounty Season 1 earlier this year.
TDK had already enjoyed a successful stint since coming together at the start of the year, formed around the core of ex-Gambit and Cloud9 trio nafany, Sergey "Ax1Le" Rykhtorov and Konstantin "groove" Pikiner.
The Russian side have already claimed a number of online titles in 2026, most notably ECL Season 51 Europe Finals and CCT 2026 Europe Series 4. Their exploits saw them rise to a peak of 36th in the global VRS.
With their new reinforcements TDK will be expected to continue to rack up the online title wins in the new season, and potentially mount a serious charge towards qualification for PGL Singapore Major at the end of the year.
