Dyrachyo stated that he will return to the Dota 2 pro scene later this season

Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov has announced that he plans to return to the Dota 2 pro scene this season in order to qualify for The International 2026.

He revealed this during a stream on Twitch.

“Antokh, I see you've gained a lot of weight — are you hoping to return to the pro scene? Definitely for The International, guys, but of course not with this kind of play. With this kind of play, you can only fight against a fat builder”

During the stream, Dyrachyo was asked directly if he hoped to return to professional Dota 2. The esports player answered in the affirmative and clarified that he plans to do so closer to TI15.

However, fans were divided in their opinions about his words. Some believe that it was just another joke and that Dyrachyo is simply teasing his audience. Others are convinced that he was serious and that the player's return seems quite realistic — after all, it will be a year since he went inactive in the spring.

Earlier, it was announced that Martin “Saksa” Sazdov will play for Team Yandex.
