Team Yandex unveiled their updated roster for FISSURE Universe: Episode 7

Team Yandex announced that Alimzhan watson Islambekov and Arman Malady Orazbayev will represent the team at FISSURE Universe: Episode 7. Club representatives clarified that it is still unknown whether the players will remain in the roster after the tournament ends; however, earlier rumors suggested they are on the shortlist and could become a full part of the organization.

Islambekov previously played for Gaimin Gladiators in the carry position. After a series of scandals surrounding the organization, the player stated that he left the team and is looking for a new roster. Later, the organization filed a lawsuit against former players, including watson. According to the club, the reasons were contract violations and failure to fulfill duties.

It is worth noting that Alimzhan has an unusual career: all his previous teams have ceased to exist. His list includes Khan, Galaxy Team, B8, HellRaisers, Entity, Cloud and Gaimin Gladiators, with rumors circulating about a potential signing of a new roster by the latter.

Malady also came from Gladiators, where he played in the fifth position. Among the team's recent achievements are 5th place at Clavision DOTA2 Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi and 8th place at Riyadh Masters 2025.

The updated Team Yandex roster will debut tomorrow in the first match of the group stage of FISSURE Universe: Episode 7 against L1GA Team.

FISSURE Universe: Episode 7 will take place from [date_utc:05.10.2025 10:00] to [date_utc:12.10.2025 10:00] online. The total prize pool of the event is $250,000 and will be contested by 14 teams.
