Heroic leaves Dota 2: what will happen to the roster

Robin Nymann, Chief Gaming Officer at Heroic, announced that the organization is shutting down its Dota 2 division due to financial difficulties. The team’s roster will remain intact and is currently seeking a new sponsor.

"The unfortunate reality is that Dota is a tough game to commercialise, and at HEROIC we have not been able to make it bear fruit for a long time now. I have nothing but faith in this group of people, and the only reason we've made this decision is financial. Even though they won't be under our banner anymore, I will continue to work with them outside of my responsibilities to HEROIC."

Heroic introduced its first Dota 2 roster in 2024. Over several years of competition on the pro scene, their best results included: victories at PGL Wallachia Season 2 and FISSURE Universe: Episode 7, 3rd-4th place at BLAST Slam IV, as well as top-6 finishes at PGL Wallachia Season 7, BLAST Slam VI, and The International 2025.

The club's most recent tournament was PGL Wallachia Season 8, where the team finished in 7th-8th place. It should be noted that the roster has secured slots for DreamLeague Season 29 and BLAST SLAM VII, which will take place very soon.
