Lukas Berć @ 2020-04-20 17:51:28 +0200Available in Chinese & Russian Our longstanding team captain and friend Peter “ppd” Dager has decided to hang up his mouse and retire as a DotA 2 player.

Lukas Berć @ 2020-04-07 18:50:02 +0200Due to the situation with COVID-19 and the consequent move to regional competition, we are forced to restructure our line-up in DotA2 to ensure continued practice and competition. Therefore, we have to make the tough decision of releasing Saahil "UNIVERSE" Arora from the roster. A fundamental part of our DotA 2 strategy is to build towards a core of players that can last way beyond the short term TI cycles. We're getting closer to that goal but we still have some ways to go in terms of finding exactly what works for us and what we are trying to achieve....
