Ferzee was created in the post TI8 shuffle and has made quite an impact on the CIS Dota 2 scene after delivering an upset during the Kuala Lumpur qualifiers. “Dota 2 is a fan favorite game in our region, we’ve always understood that and looked for different solutions to be involved in the scene,” said Konstantin Pikiner, CGO at Gambit Esports. He went on to add that the Ferzee players and Gambit management “understand that the scene is extremely competitive not only globally, but also at the regional level. We’ve got serious challenges ahead of us and we’ll do whatever we can as an organization to provide appropriate conditions for practice and performance…. Ferzee had a great start this season, players are experienced and we have worked with some of them in the past.”
The new roster will comprise of Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin, Andrei “Afoninje” Afonin, Vasilii “Afterlife” Shishkin, Rinat “KingR” Abdullin, Ivan “Vanskor” Skorokhod, and coach Anatolii "boo!k" Ivanov and manager Ivan "4SV" Karpov.
