Team Falcons leave Dota 2

The Saudi organization confirmed the move after days of rumors, posting a statement and a farewell video on social media that walked through the team's three years together.

The roster formed on November 11, 2023, and never changed a single player after that only the coaching staff saw swaps. They played close to 800 matches together and won BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024, DreamLeague Season 22, ESL One Birmingham 2024, and BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. Their biggest trophy came at The International 2025.

This year didn't go the same way. Falcons didn't win a single major in 2026 third at PGL Wallachia Season 8, second at 1win Essence II, and a 7th-8th finish at The International 2026.

Final Team Falcons roster:

• Oliver "skiter" Lepko
• Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak
• Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf
• Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen
• Wu "Sneyking" Jingjun

Falcons framed the exit as strategy, not results. The statement pointed to a review of their multi-title plans for 2026 and a shift toward areas with "greater strategic alignment and long-term operational stability." There's also talk that Falcons could head back into Valorant.

What comes next for the players is still up in the air. Cr1t- has hinted The International 2026 might've been his last tournament. Malr1ne said on stream he plans to keep playing with ATF. Sneyking is rumored to be eyeing a Chinese or Southeast Asian team. Skiter's staying in, no word yet on where.
