LGD Gaming Win on Dota 2 Return After Signing Ex-Heroic Roster
Professional esports organization LGD Gaming has announced its return to Dota 2 competitive play following the acquisition of an entire five-player roster from Heroic. The organization successfully signed the complete lineup—Yuma ‘Yuma’ Langlet, Santiago ‘TaiLung’ Olivos Agüero Gustavo, Adrián ‘Wisper’ Céspedes Dobles, Thiago ‘Thiolicor’ Cordeiro, and Matheus ‘KJ’ Santos Jungles Diniz—who were released by their previous organization earlier in May. The players had publicly expressed their commitment to remaining together as a unit to pursue qualification for both the prestigious Esports World Cup (EWC) and The International, two of Dota 2’s most important annual tournaments.
LGD Gaming granted the roster the opportunity to achieve these competitive goals, demonstrating confidence in their potential. Shortly after the signing announcement, the newly formed team made an immediate impact in professional play. On the same day, the roster competed in BLAST Dota Slam VII, where they secured an impressive upset victory against BetBo. This swift competitive debut and strong tournament result showcase the team’s cohesion and readiness, positioning them well to pursue their stated qualification objectives.
