RAMZES666 unexpectedly left 9Pandas: what happened

Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev has left the roster of 9 Pandas in Dota 2.

The announcement was made on the club's official Telegram channel.

"RAMZES666 will continue his career outside 9Pandas Esports. We announce that we have made a difficult but important decision: in 2024, the 9Pandas Dota 2 team will go on without Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev. We thank Roman for the gaming season, bright drafts, and spectacular highlights at the main tournaments of this year"

The reasons for this unexpected change in the roster are not clear, as RAMZES666 was considered one of the best players in the lineup. The replacement for his position has not been announced yet.

The club's management has stated that information about the new lineup for 9 Pandas will be revealed after negotiations with the players.

Andrey "Afoninje" Afonin had previously stated that he might leave the team after the conclusion of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 if the team did not secure a first-place finish at the tournament. 9 Pandas ended up in one of the last positions and displayed a disappointing result in the final standings.

9Pandas roster:

• Alik 'V-Tune' Vorobey

• TBD

• Gleb 'kiyotaka' Zyryanov

• Vladimir 'RodjER' Nikogosyan

• Andrey 'Afoninje' Afonin
