Rumours continue to circulate in the esports community regarding a new team led by Russian player Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin, while AVULUS captain Akbar "SoNNeikO" Butaev shared his dream of playing alongside Dota 2 legends.
Daxak’s New Line-up: Plans and Potential
Kazakh commentator Vladislav "BLACKARXANGEL" Ivashchenko revealed potential members of Daxak's prospective roster on his Telegram channel:

"The line-up looks promising. Of course, some players might move to more prestigious teams after the New Year, but for now, Daxak has a chance to lock his newcomers into contracts," commented Ivashchenko.
If this roster materialises, it could become one of the most intriguing young teams in the upcoming season.
SoNNeikO on His Dream Team
AVULUS captain Akbar "SoNNeikO" Butaev shared his vision of an ideal team with which he’d love to play: "It would be ArtStyle, Mag in the off-lane. Let’s add MagicaL, and for the carry role... Ditya Ra. Those who remember, remember."

Daxak’s new team and SoNNeikO’s reflections demonstrate how the past and future of professional Dota 2 are intertwined. While young talents aim to make their mark, veterans fondly recall their colleagues and the memorable moments that shaped esports history.
