"Results do not match our ambitions": BetBoom benched their Dota 2-roster

BetBoom Esports has decided to take a break to evaluate its next steps regarding the Dota 2 roster. The decision comes on the heels of the team's poor performance.

"Results do not match our ambitions": BetBoom benched their Dota 2-roster

During the reshuffle period ahead of the 2026/2027 season, BetBoom Team made several roster changes: Danil «gpk» Skutin went inactive until December and has already managed to win a streamer tournament in VALORANT.

BetBoom Team picked up Georgii «swedenstrong» Zainalabidov for the position 4 support role and put their trust in Vitalie «Save-» Melnic mid, with Alexander «TORONTOTOKYO» Khertek taking over as the new head coach. However, the performance following these roster moves proved to be highly disappointing.

Official statement by BetBoom Team:

"Current athletic results do not align with our ambitions and the developmental trajectory we envision for the organization."

Results BetBoom Team at the start of the 2026/2027 season:

This is a rather surprising move from BetBoom, considering that just a couple of months ago, members of this roster achieved a top-4 finish at The International 2026. Furthermore, the team currently holds direct invites to all upcoming top tier-1 tournaments: 1win Essence III, DreamLeague Season 30, and BLAST Slam IX.

Former roster BetBoom Team in Dota 2:

  • Ilya «Kiritych» Ulyanov
  • Vitaliy «Save-» Melnic
  • Matvey «MieRo» Vasyunin
  • Georgii «swedenstrong» Zainalabidov
  • Vladislav «Kataomi» Semenov
