The professional Dota 2 scene is abuzz with roster changes, and one of the hottest topics is the potential return of Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov to competitive play as part of Tundra Esports. According to journalist Polina Mashina, the player may join the European team, although this information remains unconfirmed.
Potential Strengthening of Tundra Esports
Speculation about dyrachyo’s transfer gained momentum following insider reports from Bauyrzhan "lilskrip" Bisembaev, who previously revealed that a tier-1 carry from the CIS region was placed on the transfer list. This description fits Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko, the current position one player for Tundra Esports, who helped the team secure second place at the BetBoom Dacha Dota 2 2024 and BLAST Slam I tournaments.
Meanwhile, caster Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov previously suggested that dyrachyo was initially set to join the second roster of BetBoom Team, but according to unverified reports, that roster has since been disbanded, with players moving to other teams.
Community Reactions
Russian streamer and professional player Zaur "Cooman" Shakhmurzaev shared his thoughts during a Twitch broadcast:
"There are some interesting roster changes happening right now. Tundra Esports’ new addition is decent, but not outstanding. Still, it’ll be interesting to see how it impacts their performance."
Ukrainian commentator Oleksii "STORM" Tumanov also weighed in on the potential moves: "Adding bzm and dyrachyo to Tundra is an incredible buff. On paper, this roster looks insanely strong. Anton just needs to regain his form, which is a matter of time. This lineup could be unbeatable."
