Yatoro officially changed his nickname in Dota 2: what happened

Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, the carry for Team Spirit, has adopted a new nickname in Dota 2 and will now be competing under the name Raddan.

Information about the name change appeared on Valve's official website. In the official team registration section on the Dota Pro Circuit, Yatoro's nickname has been changed.

Although the esports player has not commented on the situation, he previously renamed his Twitch channel from Yatoro21 to YTRADDAN. He also requested Valve to officially allow him to change his nickname in Dota 2.

It is likely that the two-time world champion will compete under this nickname at Riyadh Masters 2024. This might be a nod to tradition, as he has changed his nickname again for TI13. If that's the case, he will be playing in his third The International under his third new nickname.

Previously, Yatoro and Malr1ne had a public spat in the middle of a match.
