Several significant changes have taken place in the Peruvian esports scene. In one of the recent updates, Junior Reyes "Yadomi" Rimari officially announced his departure from Waska. Since joining the team in August 2024, Yadomi helped secure 8th place at DreamLeague 24 and 3rd place at Elite League 2 with Boom. His departure came as a surprise, and at the moment, it is unclear who will take his place in the roster. The Waska team continues to strengthen its position with players Hfn, Darkmago, Sacred, and Matthew.
Meanwhile, another Peruvian esports player, Héctor "K1" Rodríguez, known for his long tenure with beastcoast, has returned to the esports scene by joining M80 (formerly beastcoast) for the closed qualifiers of the FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025 Dota 2 championship. K1 replaced Yheremi "payk" Arroyo as the first position carry and will now compete with the new roster. Remember, K1 was a key player for beastcoast from 2019 to 2023.
Recently, the North American esports organisation M80 officially announced the acquisition of beastcoast, including all of its esports rosters and divisions. This acquisition marks a significant step for the team’s future on the international stage. The FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025 championship will take place from January 24 to February 2 in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. The event will feature a $1 million prize pool, divided among 16 teams, including 11 invited teams.
M80’s roster for the qualifiers:
- Héctor "K1" Rodríguez
