A new organization is entering Dota 2 by signing one of the most promising rosters in Eastern Europe.

Serbia-based 9Pandas signed the former HellRaisers roster, led by veteran captain Alexey “Solo” Berezin., the organization announced last night.

The 9Pandas roster confirmed their participation in the Berlin Major with a dominant Tour 2 in the Eastern European Dota Pro Circuit. The team went 7-0, beating out all-star squads Team Spirit and BetBoom Team for first place in the region.



9Pandas new Dota 2 roster

  • Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev
  • Gleb “depressed kid” Zyryanov
  • Matvey “MieRo`” Vasyunin
  • Vladislav “Antares” Kertman
  • Alexey “Solo” Berezin
  • Aleksandr “Nofear” Churochkin (coach)

The Solo-led roster joined HellRaisers in December last year, with long-time Virtus Pro teammate RAMZES666 joining in March. Unfortunately, despite their good recent results, HellRaisers decided to pull out of Dota 2 in April this year.

9Pandas will make their debut in the Berlin Major, where they will be playing in Group A — alongside other powerhouse teams like Lima Major’s top two teams Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid.
