ATF on skiter’s move to Aurora Gaming: “Only one carry could have been a real upgrade after Nightfall.”
On September 16, the esports organization Aurora Gaming announced the addition of Oliver “skiter” Lepko to its Dota 2 starting roster. The news was commented on social media by skiter’s former teammates as well as members of the community.
Professional player Ammar “ATF” al-Assaf called Oliver “skiter” Lepko the only carry who, in his opinion, could strengthen Aurora Gaming after Egor “Nightfall” Grigorenko:
Only one carry could have been a reinforcement after Nightfall, and they’ve landed him. HE’S A TWO-TIME TI CHAMPION ON MEDUSA!
Former Team Falcons support Jingjun “Sneyking” Wu replied to ATF:
I thought you were going to say it was you.
Caster Andrew “Jenkins” Jenkins also commented on the move:
HYPE! This guy is a beast. I think his career is going to take off.
Commentator Daria “Eiritel” Morozova reacted to the move as follows:

Skiter in Aurora
I thought it would be the other way around—that the team needed a solo carry. But they decided otherwise, so...
Aurora Gaming will make its debut with a new carry at PGL Wallachia Season 9, which will take place September 19–27 in Bucharest, Romania. The team will play with a stand-in in the mid lane—Rafla “Mikoto” Fatura Rahman will replace Igor “Stojkov” Stojkov.
