Former 9Pandas captain Aleksey "Solo" Berezin commented on his departure from the Dota 2 team. The esports player expressed his gratitude to the club and shared his future plans.
"Hello everyone! I want to thank 9Pandas for all the support, care, team development, and personal growth. The organization has an amazing, friendly, and professional team, so I'd love to say kind words about each one, but then this would be a very long post.
Special thanks to 9Pandas CEO Julia for being involved in all processes and caring deeply about the team. I wish 9Pandas prosperity, success, and bright victories. GOGO PANDAS <3
As for my plans, I intend to rest well for now. I'll keep an eye on the reshuffle and stay alert; if there's an opportunity to play with strong players and believe in the team, I still have the fire. Or do you think it's time to chill? Maybe it's time to coach the youth. Looks like the old man is in his prime at the TI13 qualifiers.
In any case, after resting, I'll start streaming and get back into the groove. Hugs to everyone, sending rays of goodness and a great mood!" Aleksey "Solo" Berezin expressed.
Berezin was benched and put up for a transfer. It is unknown who will replace him. Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov mentioned that the support player received an invitation from Virtus.pro.
In winter, Berezin stated that 2024 would most likely be his last year as a player. The esports player is ready to reconsider if the team performs well in major tournaments. Ultimately, the club almost didn't qualify for any LAN events.
