The former Old G roster has surprised the Dota 2 community by registering itself as PuckChamp for the upcoming Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Western Europe (WEU) 2023 Tour 3: Division II.
The move comes after four players left the roster and joined PuckChamp, acquiring their Division II slot.
PuckChamp’s entire roster was replaced by four members of Old G, including Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko, Kartik “Kitrak” Rathi, Sébastien “Ceb” Debs, and Adam “Aramis” Moroz, who had an impressive stand-in performance for Tundra Esports in Dreamleague Season 19.
Old G’s disqualification from the Summer Tour 2023 Closed Qualifiers led to the team’s registration as PuckChamp. Old G forfeited a tiebreaker match against PuckChamp to keep their Division II slot, as two of their players were playing as stand-ins at the Berlin Major 2023. Ceb criticized PGL and a member of the admin team on Twitter, which led to their disqualification from the closed qualifiers. The team is now playing under the PuckChamp roster in Division II, with four of their original players and Aramis.
Dota 2 streamers, qojqva and Gorgc, have expressed their reactions to Old G’s move. Qojqva mentioned that PGL might be frustrated with this move as Old G’s roster would still be playing in Division II, despite their disqualification from the Summer Tour 2023 Closed Qualifiers. Gorgc, on the other hand, speculated whether Old G bought the slot and how much they paid for it.
