When you just want to do a roster shuffle, you don’t make statements like the ones we saw today from BB. This isn’t the legendary “New Era,” when they announce the same roster with minor changes a couple of weeks later.
If management had known for certain that gpk would return in January 2027, they could have waited.
It’s quite possible the hiatus will be a long one and will last until the players’ financial expectations align with the results they’re producing.
Of course, the club would like to sell certain players—but to whom, and more importantly, for how much?
For all players, this is a clear signal that things won’t be the same as before, and former BB players will now have to fight for the chance to return.
Today, BB Team announced the suspension of its Dota 2 activities and the placement of its current players on the bench—a decision driven by dissatisfaction with the team’s recent competitive results. The roster will continue to play independently of the organization with Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov replacing Georgy “swedenstrong” Zainalabidov.
