Team Spirit’s Dota 2 manager, Dmitry ‘Korb3n’ Belov, has commented on the announcement of Aurora Gaming’s updated roster. He shared his thoughts, stating that based on the announcements, it seems Aurora Gaming had to buy out four out of the five players for their new lineup.
According to Korb3n, this situation highlights the high cost of entry into the professional Dota 2 scene in 2025.
Aurora Gaming officially announced their new roster on February 28th. The team welcomed Egor ‘Nightfall’ Grigorenko, Alexander ‘TORONTOTOKYO’ Khertek, Miroslav ‘Mira’ Kolpakov, Gleb ‘kiyotaka’ Zyryanov, and Nikita ‘Panto’ Balaganin.
