Turkish esports organisation Sangal Esports has officially placed Robert ‘Patsi’ Isyanov and Timur ‘clax’ Sabirov on the transfer list, in a move that effectively dismantles the team’s 2025 CIS-focused Counter-Strike 2 project. The decision leaves Selman ‘R4DYX’ Ozan as the only remaining active player on Sangal’s CS2 lineup after Luca ‘pr1metapz’ Voigt’s recent loan departure to OG.
The Sangal statement
According to the original HLTV report, Sangal confirmed the transfer listing in an official statement:
“Our players Robert ‘Patsi’ Isyanov and Timur ‘clax’ Sabirov have been moved out of the main roster and will be open to offers on the transfer list as of today. We thank them for their efforts to our team, and wish them the best of luck in their future.”
The CIS project that didn’t work
Patsi and clax originally joined Sangal in July 2025 alongside Evgeny ‘Norwi’ Ermolin as part of an ambitious CIS-focused rebuild. The roster was framed at the time as a long-term investment around young talent and future development. Sangal CEO Hamza Sönmez built the announcement around developing ‘young, determined, hardworking’ players. Less than a year later that entire investment has been unwound.
What comes next
With only R4DYX active and pr1metapz on loan at OG, Sangal will need to build a new four-player core from the ground up. Patsi and clax now enter what is likely to be an active player market — both are still inside their early twenties with proven Tier 2 reps, and the timing makes them obvious targets for organisations looking for cost-effective late-cycle rebuilds before the IEM Cologne Major qualifier season.
