In the constantly shifting landscape of competitive Dota 2, rumors and roster changes are as regular as the seasons.
The latest buzz, which has caught the attention of the esports community, comes from renowned Russian Dota 2 caster Vladimir “Maelstorm” Kuzminov. He has recently hinted at the possible formation of a new, all-Russian roster, a move that could shake up the scene for the 2024 competitive season.
According to Maelstorm’s message on Telegram, there’s talk of a team that would unite several high-profile free agents and active players from the CIS region.
The rumored lineup includes:
- Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev, formerly of 9Pandas
- Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov, currently with 9Pandas
- Ilyas “kasane” Gainullin, recently parting ways with Tundra Esports
- Aleksandr “Immersion” Khmeevskoi, also freshly out of Tundra Esports
- Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosian, last seen playing for Nemiga Gaming
This speculated roster brings together a mix of seasoned veterans and emerging talents.
RAMZES666, a notable figure in the Dota 2 community, left 9Pandas last month, sparking curiosity about his next move. RodjER, known for his stint with Nemiga Gaming, was a stand-in for Alexey “Solo” Berezin of 9Pandas during the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 qualifiers. The potential inclusion of kasane and Immersion, both recent free agents from Tundra Esports, adds further intrigue to this rumored lineup.
Interestingly, this wouldn’t be the first time these players have crossed paths.
Both RAMZES666 and Kiyotaka, along with RodjER, have shared the battlefield as part of 9Pandas during the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 closed qualifiers. The prospect of these talents reuniting under a new banner is a tantalizing one for fans and analysts alike.
However, as Maelstorm himself notes, such rumors should be approached with caution. Without official confirmation from the players or organizations involved, the Dota 2 community can only speculate about the validity and implications of these claims.
Should this rumor materialize, it would mark a significant moment in the Dota 2 competitive scene, potentially heralding the rise of a formidable team that could challenge the established order.
