Fnatic says goodbye to the roster and temporarily leaves the Dota 2 discipline

The British esports organization Fnatic announced the parting with its last Dota 2 roster and temporary retirement from the discipline. The decision comes after the failure of the team within the DPC SEA 2023 Tour 1: Division I and relegation to the second division. As reported in an official statement, the club will review its approach to discipline and evaluate options in the future.

Eight years later, we're looking back at the amazing moments of several iconic iterations of Fnatic's Dota 2 roster that made our ambition to become a regional leader capable of fighting among the best teams internationally a reality.

More than the endless buyouts, backdoors, riots, and epic sports moments we can look back on, I will humbly remember the people who made it all possible, as well as the amazing support our Southeast Asian fans have shown us.

Special thanks to the players who all gave our project their best and helped the misguided foreigner and amateur (but passionate) enthusiast of the genre build a strong base in Dota 2. As we turn the page and temporarily move away from Dota 2, I want to wish Good luck to the players and staff on your journey to TI12.
