Roster changes after The International 2024: How the top Dota 2 teams will be affected

After the conclusion of The International 2024, the usual insider reports about roster shuffles within teams have begun to surface. Many rumors seem far-fetched, while others may very well reflect reality. Several players and team managers have already announced that this could be the most significant roster shuffle in the history of Dota 2.

We have gathered the main insider information about top Dota 2 teams, concerning player replacements and even full disbands.

Team Spirit

According to insiders, several players from the main roster might leave the team, not just one. While earlier rumors suggested only Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov might depart, it's now reported that Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk could take a break from Dota 2's pro scene, and Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov may also leave the roster.

Additionally, Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov has emphasized that no reshuffles are planned, but he did not rule out possible roster changes.

Team Liquid

The champions of The International 2024 have not commented on any roster changes, and considering their remarkable success at the World Championship, it seems unlikely. However, there are rumors that Neta "33" Shapira might leave the team, with Jonas "SaberLight" Volek being a potential replacement.

Gaimin Gladiators

Once again, this team came close to victory at The International, but ultimately fell short to Team Liquid. The team was devastated after suffering their second consecutive grand final defeat. There are now rumors that Anton "Dyrachyo" Shkredov could be kicked from the GG roster.

This is supported by harsh comments made towards Dyrachyo’s teammates by his girlfriend. However, some speculate that these comments are a bait, indirectly confirming that there will be no roster changes in the team that won Riyadh Masters 2024.

Tundra Esports

While the team has remained silent about roster changes, insiders suggest that Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev and Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan might leave the team. Additionally, Martin "Saksa" Sazdov may go inactive or find a new team.

Xtreme Gaming

Rumors have started circulating that the team is set for a major roster shuffle, with Van "Ame" Chunyue, the team's captain and a Dota 2 legend, potentially leaving the pro scene.

BetBoom Team

Rumor has it that BetBoom Team disbanded during The International 2024, and they will now rebuild their roster. There are reports that Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov and Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan will join the new roster, with only one player from the previous lineup remaining.

OG

The team failed to qualify for TI13, but it is rumored that Nuengnara "23savage" Teeramahanon will be signed as the team's carry for the next season. Additionally, Sébastien "Ceb" Debs is said to be stepping down as captain and taking up the role of coach.

Cloud9

After a decent performance at The International 2024, Cloud9 is rumored to undergo a major roster shuffle. Supposedly, four players—watson, No[o]ne-, Kataomi, and even team captain Fishman—will leave the team.

Shopify Rebellion

It appears that Artour "Arteezy" Babaev will not be returning to the roster for now, but the team is expected to undergo significant changes. Allegedly, Timado, Yopaj-, mangekyou, Hellscream, and skem will join the lineup.

Aurora Gaming

According to rumors, the team plans not only to switch regions next season but also to replace 23savage, who may leave. TA2000 and Kaori are rumored to be joining the roster.

Let’s not forget that Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev has already teased incredible reshuffles among tier-1 Dota 2 teams, but he urged fans not to believe every rumor circulating.
