Gaimin Gladiators posted a farewell photo with Ace, but there’s a catch

Gaimin Gladiators posted a farewell photo with Marcus "Ace" Hoelgaard, but it turned out to be a trolling of the Dota 2 community.

The image was shared on the team's official X (Twitter) page.

As can be seen, the picture follows the classic format used to announce a player's departure from the roster, but there's a twist. In small print on the poster, it says: "he's not leaving." Despite this text, confirming that it was a pure troll of the reshuffle rumors, many fans genuinely thought that Ace had left Gaimin Gladiators.

Moreover, before this, Ace had already baited fans by removing the GG tag from his official X profile, which was immediately interpreted as a hint of his imminent departure from the roster.

However, judging by this blatant trolling, it seems the Gaimin Gladiators roster may remain unchanged this season, as the team achieved excellent results in the previous Dota 2 season.
