Vladyslav “leen” Stepanov, the 18-year-old Ukrainian player, has rejoined Monte, making the move from their academy roster to the main squad in place of Paweł “dycha” Dycha.
Leen had previously been an integral part of Monte Gen, playing for the academy squad from November 2023 to January 2025. During his time with the team, he consistently performed well, posting a 1.05 rating over that period.
The young rifler joins Monte during a time of mixed results, with the team recently finishing second in CCT Season 2 Europe Series 16 before suffering a near-bottom finish in Europe Series 17.
Leen faces a tough challenge in his first match for Monte, as the team prepares to take on the highly competitive PARIVISION in the ESL Challenger League.
