Information
Bio
Vladimir RodjER Nikogasyan is a Russian Dota 2 cybersports player, semi-support. He is the champion of ESL One Katowice 2018 and The Kuala Lumpur Major. His signature heroes are considered to be Chen, Enchantres and Phoenix.
The first serious tournament for RodjER was Russian Esports Cup 2016 - for the 1st place his team FlipSid3 received 1 million rubles. After this momentous event, Vladimir's career went uphill - he was picked up by the team Effect, and then Team Empire. Together with the latter, he overcame regional qualifications and was selected for The International 2017. At this tournament, the team was able to defeat such strong opponents as Cloud9 and Evil Geniuses, but stumbled over future champions Team Liquid, taking 7th-8th place and earning over $600,000 in prize money.
RodjER's next team was Natus Vincere. While Vladimir was a part of it the guys won at Adrenaline Cyber League and WESG 2017 Europe Finals, took 4th place at DreamLeague Season 8 and 3-4 at MDL Macau. In February 2018, the player was bought out by Virtus.pro, transferring to Lil in return. After joining the new team, RodjER was able to show a perfect game. ESL One Katowice 2018, The Bucharest Major, ESL One Birmingham 2018, The Kuala Lumpur Major and other important tournaments surrendered under the pressure of Vladimir and his teammates. For complete happiness, the only thing left was to win the main event of the year, but here was no luck: 5-6th place at The International 2018 and failed 9-12 at The International 2019. This result put an end to the cooperation between the player and the organization.
Later RodjER returned to Navi again, adding to the mix of former FlyToMoon, where he again showed not a bad game, but far from ideal. In 2023 he joined 9Pandas at the ESL One Kuala Lumpur qualifiers, replacing Vladislav Antares Kertman. However, Vladimir did not participate in the tournament due to personal reasons, and instead of him Alik V-Tune Vorobey went to Malaysia. 9Pandas did not achieve high results and dropped out of the tournament after the group stage.
In January 2024 Vladimir was signed by L1ga Team organization, where the player joined his 9Pandas teammates: RAMZES666 and kiyotaka. In the new team, RodjER participates in the closed qualification for the tournament BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024, where he took 2nd place. After that L1ga took part in the qualification for DreamLeague Season 22, but there the team was a complete failure. The roster first went down to the lower grid in the first round after a 2:0 defeat to Nemiga Gaming, and Vladimir and his team fell out of the lower grid after the first match, losing to 9Pandas. Soon RodjER decides to leave L1ga Team.
