Two Dota 2 legends leave their team after four consecutive losses

Two legends of the Dota 2 pro scene, Nikolay “Nikobaby” Nikolov and Kim “DuBu” Du-young, have left the Level Up roster after four straight losses after only two weeks at the club.

Both cyber athletes played four matches for the team at the European Pro League Season 26 online tournament, all of which ended in losses. After the unsuccessful series, there were changes in the lineup: Denis “Rincyq” Bogushev and Hamid “jesv” Gammadov took the vacated positions.

It is noteworthy that Nikobaby spent only two weeks in the club after returning to the Dota 2 pro scene, and his future plans are still unknown.

Recall that Nikobaby ended his career in October 2022, leaving Alliance, for which he played since 2019. During his career, he earned more than 458 thousand dollars in prize money. In February 2025, he announced his desire to return to the competitive scene and began looking for a new team.
