Along with the addition of Zlobich, The Islanders have also added lesser known, but up and coming Russian player Tomilov "v0rtex" Nikola as their 6th man. Nikola's most notable past team is x4team.
Alexey "Xeinz" Bashmakov stated that Zlobich was an obvious choice to fill the gap left by Filimonchenko.
"We added zloba because he's a very skilled player, and we got only 4 active players in the lineup. This time we also picked up v0rtex to have a 6th player."
According to Bashmakov, the team's first even with this new lineup will be the qualifications for Giga Games 2006 and Perm Period 2006.
With the addition of Zlobich and Nikola, the St. Petersburg lineup looks like this:
Anton "rAdo" Kapitanov (leader)
Alexey "Xeinz" Bashmakov
Roman "medic" Romanov
Roman "ROMjke" Makarov
Alexander "Zloba" Zlobich
