Team Yandex bench Noticed and sign a new offlaner

Organization Team Yandex announced that Dmitry DM Dorokhin has become the team’s new offlaner, while Evgeny Noticed Ignatenko has been moved to the bench. The information appeared on the club’s official Telegram channel.

For those who closely follow the professional Dota 2 scene, this is no longer news. But now we are happy to announce it officially. Dmitry DM Dorokhin joins Team Yandex.

Rumors about the player officially joining the roster first appeared back in early March, when DM played for the team as a stand-in at PGL Wallachia Season 7 and helped the squad secure the first LAN trophy in the organization’s history. After that, he continued playing for the roster as a substitute and also competed at PGL Wallachia Season 8.

Previously, Dorokhin spent a year playing for PARIVISION before leaving the club at the end of January 2026. After that, he tried his luck in a new stack together with coach Filipe Astini Astini, who had also previously represented the organization. However, the roster failed to achieve notable results.

Meanwhile, Noticed had been part of Team Yandex since June 2025 and during that time won DreamLeague 27 Division 2 Stage 1 with the team, followed by victory at the main DreamLeague Season 27 tournament. The roster also finished second at ESL One Birmingham 2026 and BLAST SLAM V.

Ignatenko commented on his Telegram channel regarding his departure from TY:

"I spent the latter half of last season and the first half of this one with the team, playing on two different rosters. We had our ups and downs, but overall, I can say this was my best team in terms of results. We played in a bunch of tournaments and finished in the top three in almost every one, and for the first time in my career, I was able to win a Tier 1 tournament and play in the finals on stage twice. I want to thank the organization and all the players for believing in me and giving me a chance, and also simply for going through this whole journey with me. I wish the guys good luck and hope that in the future we’ll meet again in tournament finals!"

It is also worth noting that at the online tournament 1win Essence I, Noticed played for PARIVISION as a substitute, where the team won the championship while losing only one map. There are currently rumors within the community that he may become a permanent player of the roster.

The next tournament for the updated lineup will be BLAST SLAM VII, which will take place from 26.05.2026 to 07.06.2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Twelve teams will compete for a $1,000,000 prize pool. You can follow the tournament through our live report.
