K27 Sign clax After fame’s Loan Ends

K27 have announced the signing of Timur “clax” Sabirov from Sangal. The Russian player has replaced Petr “fame” Bolyshev, whose loan spell from Virtus.pro recently came to an end. Following the transfer, K27’s starting lineup is complete once again.

For clax, the move marks a return to official competition after several months away from active play. He last appeared in an HLTV-recorded match in April. Sangal later moved him to the bench as the organization gradually shifted away from its Russian core.

Despite his recent lack of match practice, clax was one of Sangal’s most consistent players. During his 12 months with the team, he averaged a 1.09 rating. He ended his final tournament under the organization’s banner in impressive fashion, helping the roster win Urban Riga Open Season 4 and finishing as the team’s highest-rated player with a 1.24 rating.

K27 hope that signing clax will help the team take the next step following a difficult season. The roster came close to qualifying for IEM Cologne Major 2026 but ultimately fell one step short.

K27 currently sit 46th in Valve’s official ranking of the world’s best Counter-Strike 2 teams. The updated lineup’s first LAN test will be Stake Ranked Episode 3, which begins on July 15.
