Falcons offlaner Ammar "ATF" al-Assaf will stand in for Entity Gaming at 1win Series Dota 2 Summer. The esports player will play carry instead of Alimzhan "watson" Islamkhanov. Dmitry "Fishman" Polishchuk announced the substitution on Telegram, clarifying that the team will reunite in its usual lineup for the Riyadh Masters 2024.
"Today, we play with a stand-in, Ammar. He will play carry, mode: Nigma Galaxy 2022! Alim is fine, and we'll be playing in full strength at the Riyadh Masters."
The last time ATF played carry was in 2022. He played for Nigma Galaxy but didn't achieve significant success. Eventually, al-Assaf was benched and returned to the offlaner role.
The 1win Series Dota 2 Summer runs from June 27 to June 30 online. Participants are competing for $100,000. At 2:00 PM MSK on the 30th, Entity will face 1win for third place. The winner will take $15,000, and the loser will take $5,000.
