Former esports professional Nikolay "Nikobaby" Nikolov has announced his return to the Alliance organization. However, he doesn't plan to come back as a player but will contribute to the club in a different capacity.
"I’m coming back to make Alliance great again. But not as a player," said Nikolay "Nikobaby" Nikolov.
Nikolov retired from his competitive career in October 2022. He represented Alliance for the last three years, during which the club won the second season of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) for Western Europe and placed 9th-12th at The International 2021.
Since leaving Alliance, Nikolov has focused on building a bootcamp facility that he plans to rent out to teams. He frequently shares updates on his progress through social media.
