Ivan “choiv” Živkovic and Vladan “VLDN” Radević will no longer be part of the team. This was announced today by both the organization and the players themselves. The information that can be obtained is that as it was in iNation from the very beginning, so was the parting itself. With lots of love, respect, understanding and best wishes for the future.
Today marks the end of my journey here in iNation, it's been 2 wonderful years with a lot of ups and downs , I am very grateful for the opportunity I've got here to play and work with amazing people and I will always cherish that. But it's time to move on and explore something new https://t.co/Shw9emGaUm

Vladan “VLDN” Radević was considered the best player of this team, but (along with c0llins prim. aut.) also the best in this region outside the tier 1 scene. There is someone around whom this team is built and who bought the audience painted in blue and black with his phenomenal moves. He successfully represented iNation for two years, and his biggest success in this team was the placement at the RMR tournament in Copenhagen (qualifying tournament for Paris Major), in addition to countless titles on the domestic scene and represented the Serbian CSGO national team three times at IESF šworld championships.

The second player to leave the team is the brain and ingame leader Ivan “choiv” Zivkovic. A man who always subordinated himself to the team and one of the few about whom you can only hear good words on our stage. He established a system within the team, doing a huge amount of work both on and off the server, often without a coach or any help. In the end, he will turn out to be the greatest success in the recent history of this famous organization with his klacha.
The question remains as to where the two will continue their careers, and both have announced on their Twitter profiles that they are free agents. On the other hand, the question is what the next steps of iNation will be, s' considering that only Dragon and kind0 are left in the team right now, and it will be hellishly hard to fill the hole left after the departure of the brain and backbone of the team.
