Blacklist Rivalry has revealed its official Dota 2 roster for the upcoming Esports World Cup, set to take place in Saudi Arabia in July 2024.
"Back with a vengeance. Introducing our revamped DOTA squad, aimed squarely at the #EsportsWorldCup," announced Blacklist International in a Facebook post.
Here's the new Blacklist Rivalry Dota 2 lineup for Esports World Cup 2024:
- Pos 1: John "Natsumi-" Vargas
- Pos 2: Abed "Abed" Yusop
- Pos 3: Kim "Gabbi" Santos
- Pos 4: Timothy "TIMS" Randrup
- Pos 5: Jaunuel "Jaunuel" Arcilla
Abed and Gabbi, who were reportedly embroiled in a "physical confrontation," have been retained by the Tier One-led esports organization.
Moreover, TIMS will continue to be part of the all-Filipino Dota 2 team. However, there have been significant adjustments in positions.
Natsumi-, one of the most talented Dota 2 players in the country, will assume the Pos 1 (carry position). Before joining Blacklist Rivalry, Natsumi played with Polaris Esports, Neon, and Adroit Esports.
Meanwhile, Jaunuel will be supporting as Pos 5 player. Between 2021 and 2023, he was a key member of Fnatic, which helped the team make it to The International (TI).
In their most recent competition, the Blacklist Rivalry team competed in Elite League Season 1, where they finished 15th-16th.
The Dota 2 event in the 2024 Esports World Cup (EWC) will be held between July 4 and July 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
