Azure Ray has announced the signing of Bach and Ori
Cybersports players Zeng Ori Jiaoyang and Zhang Bach Ruida (formerly known as Faith_bian) joined the Azure Ray Dota 2 lineup. Information about this appeared on the page of the Chinese club in the social network Weibo.
Ori became a midlaner of the team, and Bach — took a hard line. Both players have not appeared on the pro scene for more than a year. At the moment, the roster is almost complete, only the 4th position player is missing. Earlier it was reported that it could be Xu fy Linsen.
At the end of 2022, both players announced to the world that they were leaving the Dota 2 discipline. Zeng Ori Jiaoyan joined the ranks of players who ended their cybersport careers after The International 2022. However, unlike Faith_bian and other legends, Team Aster's midranger's departure from Dota 2 came as a surprise to fans.
Meanwhile, Bach hinted in his farewell message that he has no plans to finally retire from cybersport. During the Monkey Business podcast, the legendary player admitted that he wants to learn to play the piano well (his new nickname is most likely a reference to this musical hobby) and raise the level of Dota 2 both in the Chinese region and worldwide.
In December, Azure Ray was left by Guo Xm Hongcheng, Lin Xxs Jing and Zhao XinQ Zixing - they moved to Xtreme Gaming. This happened after AR won the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. The cybersportsmen revealed that they decided to leave before the start of this championship and did not change their plans, despite winning the tournament in Malaysia.
Azure Ray's current lineup:
- Lu Lou Zhen
- Zeng Ori Jiaoyang
- Zhang Bach Ruida
- Jiang 天命 An.
Also, Xtreme Gaming took the first line of ESL ranking After signing three Azure Ray players, all the EPT points gained went to the new team along with the players.
