Cr1t Hinted at Ending His Dota 2 Pro Career

Andreas “Cr1t” Nielsen stated that The International 2026 could be the last tournament of the series in his esports career.

The player announced this on Twitch.

“It’s always something special. The last time I played was in Shanghai in 2019. For me, this is probably my last TI. I’m glad I got to compete here. It’s always incredible to play in China. The fans who supported us all over the world… It’s something special to compete at TI; I’m going to miss it. I’ve played in many TI tournaments, and it’s been a pleasure.”

According to a statement by Andreas “Cr1t” Nielsen, the esports player is looking forward to the opportunity to compete at The International 2026, despite Team Falcons’ early exit in the Top 8. The player added that he enjoyed the tournament venue and also thanked fans from around the world for their support. Cr1t admitted that once his career is over, he’ll miss The International tournaments.

As a reminder, Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak previously named the teams he’d like to join after leaving Team Falcons.
