Elephant's co-owner revealed how much money was spent on the all-star lineup
The co-owner of Elephant said that in 2020, the organization spent more than 30 million Chinese yuan (over $4.2 million) to maintain a roster of famous Chinese players. Then Somnus, fy, Yang, Eurus and RedPanda played for the team, and rOtk was the coach.
Initially, the team was created by the joint efforts of Elephant and 4AM, however, due to disagreements, the latter withdrew from the enterprise, and the club was named Elephant. In addition, the organization faced difficulties during the Eurus' transfer from Vici Gaming. It eventually took place, but did not bring positive results. Elephant's co-owner also noted that the decision to sign star players in the end was stupid thing.
Elephant signed an all-star lineup in 2020 with Sylar, Somnus, Yang, fy and RedPanda. Then Eurus joined on the carry and Super on position 5. During the year, their serious achievements were wins at OGA Dota PIT Season 4 and China Dota2 Pro Cup Season 2. The main failure and reason for the disband was 13-16th place at The International 10. During that year, Elephant was able to earn $811,657 in prize money.
As Cyberscore reported earlier, Nigma Galaxy tried to buy a slot in the first division of DPC 2023 for China.
