On Monday, January 8, Bleed Esports announced the signing of mid laner Rafli “Mikoto” Fathur Rahman and support Wilson “poloson” Koh.

With the two additions, Bleed Esports completed their Dota 2 line-up, weeks ahead of DreamLeague Season 22.

Mikoto joins Bleed Esports as one of the most recognisable names from the South-East Asia (SEA) Dota 2 scene.

The 23-year-old started his esports career in March 2017 and has since played for some of the top teams in the region, including BOOM Esports and Talon Esports.

With Talon, Mikoto accomplished a lot last year.

He won the BTS Pro Series Season 14: Southeast Asia and DPC SEA 2023 Tour 2: Division I and claimed two bronze medals at the Lima Major 2023 and Riyadh Masters 2023.

However, despite all the success, Mikoto found himself on the chopping block after Talon’s 9th-12th-place exit from The International 2023.

His new teammate, poloson joins Bleed Esports as one of the most experienced players on the roster.

Over his career, which spans a decade, poloson has competed with some of the strongest Dota 2 teams in the world, including Invictus Gaming, Nigma Galaxy SEA, and Team SMG.

Even though poloson didn’t accomplish much in 2023 when he competed with Myth Avenue Gaming, the seasoned veteran can offer a lot of value for Bleed, who’ll look to build on the success they’ve achieved in 2023.

Bleed Esports have proven very active during the Dota 2 offseason, looking to strengthen the roster after failing to accomplish much in the 2023 season.

Even though Bleed Esports won DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division I, the SEA squad failed to show much on the international stage.

In July, Bleed Esports attended Bali Major 2023 and crashed out of the $500,000 Dota 2 esports tournament in 13th-14th place.

By the end of the season, the Singaporean team unsuccessfully attempted to qualify for The International and ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, exiting both qualifiers in fifth-sixth place.

In a bid to find more success in 2024, Bleed Esports started rebuilding the roster in November with the addition of Natthaphon “Masaros” Ouanphakdee and Tommy “Taiga” Le.

However, after a rough showing at Kobolds Rave in December, Bleed released Taiga and found two new players to fill the missing gaps.

Bleed Esports will debut their new roster in the upcoming DreamLeague Season 22 qualifier, set to start in February.

Tundra Esports releases recently acquired Dota 2 roster https://www.behindzioncurtain.com/tundra-esports-releases-recently-acquired-dota-2-roster/ https://www.behindzioncurtain.com/tundra-esports-releases-recently-acquired-dota-2-roster/#respond Wed, 03 Jan 2024 03:54:06 +0000 https://www.behindzioncurtain.com/?p=33736 In a surprising turn of events, Tundra Esports has parted ways with the Dota 2 roster that they had signed just a month ago.

The post Tundra Esports releases recently acquired Dota 2 roster appeared first on Esport Bet.

]]>
In a surprising turn of events, Tundra Esports has once again found itself without a Dota 2 roster, parting ways with the ex-TSM line-up less than a month after signing them in December 2023.

The organization has been causing waves in the Dota 2 community with unexpected roster changes over the last three months, including the short-lived partnership with MoonMeander��s ex-TSM, which lasted barely a month.

Tundra’s decision to bring in the ex-TSM roster just before the ESL One Kuala Lumpur Major raised eyebrows, especially given the quick dissolution of the majority of the roster after finishing in eighth place at the tournament.

Players such as Enzo “Timado” Gianoli, Jonathan “Bryle” De Guia, Ilyas “kasane” Gainullin, Aleksandr “Immersion” Khmelevskoi, and David “MoonMeander” Tan Boon Yang have all left Tundra, leaving fans puzzled about the organization’s intentions for their Dota 2 division.

Interestingly, Matthew “Whitemon” Filemon remains on the roster, adding an air of uncertainty to Tundra’s plans.

Speculation has been rife on Reddit, with some suggesting that Tundra might have signed the TSM roster to fulfil sponsor obligations before 2024.

The organization seems to have had one foot out of the Dota 2 world for some time, but there are indications of a commitment to staying if the right formula can be found.

Whitemon’s retention could potentially signal Tundra’s desire to build a strong team, especially with notable free agents like Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen, Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov, and Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko available in the market.

Tundra currently has a short roster, and with players like Martin “Saksa” Sazdov on the inactive roster, there is potential for a formidable team if Saksa decides to return to competitive Dota 2.

However, Tundra doesn’t seem to be in a rush to make decisions.

The absence of a Dota Pro Circuit appears to have sparked a season of significant shuffling.

The decision follows a disappointing 8th-place finish at ESL One Kuala Lumpur, though the abruptness of the move has left fans speculating about Tundra’s imminent rebuild.

The decision comes after a lacklustre performance in the playoffs at ESL One Kuala Lumpur, where Tundra faced a tough 0-2 defeat against BetBoom Team.

Notably, the players were part of the team for less than three weeks before being released.

Tundra’s original squad for The International 2023 fell apart after a 16th-place finish, leading to the hyped signing of Team Undying, who had just left TSM.

The jersey-hopping trend is expected to continue in 2024, with four of the five players yet to announce their plans.

Former Tundra carry Timado, one of the players released, hinted at the timing of the decision by posting on December 31 that he was looking for a new team and had received an offer from Quantum Infinity CEO Igor Campos.

This suggests that Tundra made the decision to disband the squad right after Kuala Lumpur but delayed the announcement.

The lack of a collective statement indicates a likely separation of the core trio��Timado, Bryle, and MoonMeander, who have been together since early 2021.

His continued presence raises speculation about a potential Southeast Asian Tundra roster for 2024, although the full line-up remains uncertain.

Chinese Dota 2 made a triumphant return to the top as Azure Ray executed a stunning reverse sweep against Gaimin Gladiators in the grand final of ESL One Kuala Lumpur.

Before the tournament, Azure Ray faced criticism for a roster shuffle that saw three players replaced after The International 2023.

Despite calls for disqualification, rulebook changes and Valve’s hands-off approach spared them from penalties.

Azure Ray asserted their dominance early in the group stages, topping Group A with only two defeats.

In the main event, they faced the Gladiators in the upper bracket, but the initial encounter saw Azure Ray outclassed and sent to the lower bracket.

Facing another European powerhouse, Team Liquid, in the lower bracket, Azure Ray seemed on the brink of elimination after losing the first match.

However, defying the odds, they secured two consecutive victories to set up a revenge match against GG in the grand finals.

The Gladiators took control with two consecutive wins, leaving no room for error on Azure Ray’s side.

In a spectacular turn of events, Azure Ray achieved the unthinkable��a reverse sweep, winning three games in a row against the dominant team of 2023 and clinching the ESL One Kuala Lumpur title.

The grand finale, a rare reverse sweep in Dota 2 since 2021, captivated fans.

Throughout the tournament, the Zhao “XinQ” Zixing and Lin “Xxs” Jing offlane duo dismantled opposing safe laners, while Guo “Xm” Hongcheng and Lou “Lou” Zhen secured Azure Ray’s late-game with precision.

Despite high expectations, especially considering it was their first major tournament together, Azure Ray defied predictions, hinting at more success in 2024, proclaiming it as a year for China in Dota 2 during their champions’ interview.

ESL One Kuala Lumpur marked the conclusion of the Dota 2 season for 2023, with the grand final reflecting a clash between Western Europe’s Gaimin Gladiators and China’s Azure Ray.

The series, a rematch of the upper bracket finals, where GG secured victory over Azure Ray, unfolded into a nail-biting grand final.

Gaimin Gladiators, dominant throughout the season with clean sweeps in DPC Majors, were the favorites to lift the trophy.

Despite struggles at The Riyadh Masters 2023 and a runner-up finish at The International 2023, GG quickly bounced back in ESL One Kuala Lumpur.

Azure Ray, despite facing backlash for a roster shuffle, emerged as the top team in Group A.

The grand final series was a thrilling contest that went down to the wire, with Azure Ray emerging victorious.

This marked a triumphant comeback for the Chinese region in the 2023 Season, securing 4800 ESL Pro Tour points and US$500,000 in prize money.

Gaimin Gladiators finished as the runner-up for the second time in a major tournament.

The grand finale not only showcased Azure Ray’s resilience but also signalled a strong return for Chinese Dota 2 on the international stage.

Here are our top picks for Azure Ray vs Team Secret, BetBoom Team vs Gaimin Gladiators, Blacklist International vs Wawitas Sagazes, and Azure Ray vs Blacklist International.

    Despite placing fourth at The International 2023, Azure Ray have made a few roster changes heading into the 2024 Dota 2 season. Last month, they acquired former Xtreme Gaming duo Zhao “XinQ” Zixing and Guo “Xm” Hongcheng and offlaner Lin “Xxs” Jing, forming what looks like one of the most stacked rosters in the Chinese Dota 2 scene — although they’ve yet to play an official match.

    Team Secret signed Yeik “MidOne” Nai Zheng and re-added Miroslav “BOOM” Bi?an at the start of November, hoping to find more success after a shaky ending to the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit season. And they’ve so far looked solid, cruising through the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 European qualifiers.

    Although Team Secret still have a lot more to prove, they look very competitive. Azure Ray might be stronger on paper, but considering we’ve yet to see them in action, backing a team that proven at the top level makes way more sense at the offered Dota 2 betting odds.

    BetBoom Team enter ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 as one of the strongest teams, with Dota 2 betting sites pricing them at +650 to claim the title. However, they will kick off their campaign against Gaiman Gladiators — the outright favourites to win the tournament.

    Gaimin Gladiators were by far the most successful team of the 2023 season, winning six Tier-1 events and claiming silver at The International 2023. And considering they have made just one roster change, adding Quinn “Quinn” Callahan, the European squad should be just as strong next season.

    It is no surprise that Gaiman Gladiators are favourites for this match. Still, this is they first fixture in two months, and we must consider that BetBoom Team are 5-2 in the head-to-head since June.

    Following an underwhelming season, Blacklist International decided to hit a reset button and completely revamp their roster. Polo “Raven” Fausto, who is the only carryover, will now link up with Abed “Abed” Yusop, Kim “Gabbi” Santos, Timothy John “TIMS” Randrup, and Carlo “Carlo” Manalo, forming one of the most exciting lineups in the Dota 2 scene.

    Blacklist International already had a chance to prove their worth with a near-perfect run through the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 qualifiers. And considering they have managed to deal with Talon Esports, Geek Fam, and Bleed Esports, Blacklist surely shouldn’t struggle against Wawitas Sagazes.

    Even though Peruvian Dota 2 teams are never to be underestimated, Wawitas Sagazes have played only a handful of games since the roster was formed in November, and they’ve already shown cracks against weaker opponents. Don’t overthink this one.

    Azure Ray and Blacklist International have both upgraded their rosters, but neither squad has been properly tested yet. Therefore, it would make sense to side with a team with better individual talent.

    Yet, while Azure Ray look stronger, we don’t know how the new signings will gel, and it doesn’t help that the Chinese outfit hasn’t played a game since late October. Azure Ray’s match against Team Secret early on Monday might give an answer, but by then, the Dota 2 esports betting odds will likely have shifted.

    Azure Ray are the most likely victors, but we have too much respect for Blacklist International’s new roster to fade them at the offered betting odds.

    In a surprising move ahead of The International 2023, Valve announced the discontinuation of the Dota Pro Circuit in 2024.

    This decision created a void in the professional Dota 2 scene, prompting ESL to step in with the ESL Pro Tour Season 2.

    Team Spirit currently leads the season with 2400 points, securing their position after winning DreamHack DreamLeague Season 21, followed closely by Shopify Rebellion with 2000 points.

    ESL Pro Tour Season 2 is set to dominate the calendar with five tournaments, beginning with the highly anticipated ESL One Kuala Lumpur, officially kicking off the 2024 Dota 2 professional season.

    ESL Pro Tour Season 2 introduces a new Dota 2 region, MENA, ensuring one guaranteed spot in ESL-hosted tournaments.

    Uncertainty surrounds the inclusion of MENA in third-party tournaments, given its proximity to Europe, despite the region boasting a similar skill ceiling.

    Following ESL One Kuala Lumpur, DreamLeague Season 22 is scheduled for late February to the first week of March, with qualifiers starting in January.

    In April, an ESL LAN event in Europe will precede DreamLeague Season 23.

    Open qualifiers for ESL One EU and DreamLeague Season 22 are set for January and March, respectively.

    The pinnacle of ESL Pro Tour Season 2 arrives in July with a mysterious tournament.

    Rumors circulate about a significant prize pool, potentially rivaling that of The International 2021.

    Dzmitry “Fishman” Palishchuk fueled the speculation with an unverified claim of a US$45,000,000 prize pool.

    The ESL Pro Tour is poised to reshape the Dota 2 professional scene, with ESL’s commitment evident in their schedule.

    The introduction of the EPL Leaderboard awards teams with EPT Points, determining direct invites to the July ‘Showdown’ event.

    The ESL Pro Tour calendar for 2024 includes three online DreamLeague seasons and two live ESL One tournaments.

    The season kicks off with DreamLeague Season 22 in late February, followed by ESL One Europe in person in April.

    May sees DreamLeague Season 23 before the July Showdown event.

    Shane Clarke, Director Game Ecosystems �C Dota 2 at ESL FACEIT Group, expressed excitement about the 2024 ESL Pro Tour, promising remarkable moments, eye-watering prize pools, and an unwavering dedication to the Dota 2 community.

    Post-Showdown, ESL Pro Tour Season 3 begins with another DreamLeague season and ESL One competition in October and November, respectively.

    ESL One Asia concludes the season in December, with the remaining tournaments scheduled for 2025.

    These developments mark a significant shift in Dota 2’s competitive landscape following Valve’s discontinuation of the Dota Pro Circuit, with ESL taking the reins to provide an electrifying and competitive professional scene.

    Dota 2 fans can look forward to the next major event in December, as ESL has just unveiled the four invited teams for the Kuala Lumpur tournament.

    However, the reigning champions of The International 2023, Team Spirit, might miss out on the competition due to roster issues.

    Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, Team Spirit’s manager, recently revealed that one of their players plans to take a break until January.

    While Team Spirit is open to attending ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, their participation hinges on the tournament’s rulebook.

    The exact number of substitutes required for Kuala Lumpur remains uncertain because it’s unclear how many Team Spirit members will take a break.

    Most Dota 2 tournaments typically allow only one stand-in, with a maximum of two if valid reasons are provided.

    In a now-deleted Twitch stream, Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov expressed his desire to take a break without considering retirement.

    He stated that he wasn’t planning to “go anywhere” but needed a break before the new season.

    Aside from Team Spirit, Gaimin Gladiators, LGD, and Azure Ray also received invitations to the event.

    With the Dota Pro Circuit no longer in place, professional teams are starting the new competitive season earlier than usual, with a major event right at the outset.

    While Team Spirit could choose to skip this tournament, they prefer not to do so because ESL tournaments are a crucial pathway to the Riyadh Masters, which boasts the biggest prize pool in Dota 2 since the reduction in The International 2023’s prize pool.

    Kuala Lumpur is quite a distance from Eastern Europe, making it an exhausting journey for Team Spirit’s players who recently claimed the Aegis of Champions in Seattle.

    However, no invited team has declared their rosters for ESL’s Kuala Lumpur event yet, and they may wait until after the regional qualifiers to determine their stand-ins.

    ESL One’s return to Malaysia at the end of the year has excited Dota fans in Southeast Asia.

    The tournament is scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur from December 11 to 17, 2023, with a total prize pool of $1,000,000 USD up for grabs.

    12 elite Dota 2 teams from around the world will gather in Malaysia to kick off the event, competing for one of the eight available spots in the playoffs.

    The playoffs will be held live at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) from December 15 to 17.

    Electronic Sports League has announced that the Dota 2 ESL One event will be played in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in December.

    Set to unfold at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), ESL One Kuala Lumpur boasts a robust prize pool of USD $1m.

    The ESL Kuala Lumpur 2023, which will run from December 11-17, promises to be an electrifying event, spotlighting 12 elite Dota 2 squads from across the globe. Commencing with a three-day Group Stage, two clusters of six teams will vie for supremacy in a single round-robin format.

    The upper echelon, the top six teams, will then secure their spots for the live Playoffs, scheduled between December 15 and 17, in a double elimination format.

    Shane Clarke, holding the reins as the Director of Game Ecosystems �C Dota 2 at the ESL FACEIT Group, shared insights about the decision to reroute another ESL One edition to Malaysia.

    ��We know Dota fans across South-East Asia have been eagerly waiting for the return of ESL One for over a year now,” he said.

    “This December, we��re bringing back ESL One, bigger & more accessible than ever before, as we move the tournament from Genting to Kuala Lumpur for the first time.”

    Historically, ESL has brought Dota 2 tournaments to Malaysia on three occasions, albeit in Genting. Encouragingly, the most recent event, ESL One Malaysia 2022, garnered an impressive viewership, peaking at 363,000 and logging close to 9.68 million watch hours, according to online sources.

    Intriguingly, there might be a schedule clash. The ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 is seemingly coinciding with another titan of a competition, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang M5 World Championship.

    Latest updates indicate that this championship, marking the culmination of the MLBB 2023 season, will span two venues – Kuala Lumpur for the Wildcard stage and the Philippines for the Main stage �C in November and December.
