The organization posted an image featuring the Wraith King and its own logo, accompanied by a short caption: “It’s been a while.”

Gaimin Gladiators’ last Dota 2 roster disbanded in August 2025 amid a conflict between the players and the club’s management. The disagreements led to the team withdrawing from The International 2025.

In October of that same year, the organization filed a lawsuit in a Canadian court against its former players, seeking 7.5 million Canadian dollars. The defendants in the case were Quinn Callahan, Marcus “Ace” Hoelgaard, Erik “tOfu” Engel, and Alimzhan “watson” Islambekov.
