Two more well-known esports players have changed their nicknames in Dota 2 following Yatoro's lead

Nikita "Pantomem" Balaganin and Alexander "v1olent" Pak, two players of L1ga Team, have switched their Dota 2 aliases. They will now be competing as Panto and you <<.

The fact was confirmed by a change in Valve's official website where they once again gave the option to change usernames.

It is important to know that Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk started the trend of switching names among esports players. Now he is called Raddan. According to Team Spirit, they contacted Valve requesting him to let the player change his nickname and after sometime, Dota 2 developers activated username change service again.

Nothing has been said regarding their decision by Panto and you << for now. Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that more players might follow suit before The International 2024 starts.

It should be remembered that Yegor "Nightfall" Grigorenko changed his Dota 2 nickname unexpectedly in response to Yatoro’s example earlier on.
