Bio
Melchior Seleri Hillenkamp is a professional Dota 2 player from the Netherlands who performs as a support player and is best known for his performances with ViKin.gg and Gaimin Gladiators.
Melchior began his professional career in 2015 while playing for a stack known as EE's Disciples but failed to achieve any significant results. However, the young support was slowly noticed on the pro scene and soon became a player for Sanguine Sharks, a strong tier-2 team. After the disbandment of the "sharks", Seleri crossed over to Tuho to qualify for The International 2017, but the team disbanded four days later. Melchior himself became a player for Unchained Esports, with which he won the Taurora Invitational 2 and several other tournaments. In early 2019, Melchior left the Turkish organization to focus on improving his personal skills through pubs and find a truly worthy team.
That team turned out to be ViKin.gg, which Seleri joined in November 2019. The young Romanian organization brought together all the promising players from the European server, and by the end of 2019, Seleri and the team became champions of SECTOR: MOSTBET DOTA 2 Season 1. They went on to have successful performances at WePlay Winter Madness and GGBET Championship tournaments, but they truly made their mark after placing third in ESL One Los Angeles 2020 Online. Since then, Seleri has been actively developing as a captain, and his team has become known on the professional Dota 2 scene. In 2022, Melchior moved to Team Tickles, with which he successfully gave performances in the first division of the Western Europe DPC league. Following this, the Team Tickles roster was signed by the Gaimin Gladiators organization, with whom he take the 8th place at The International 2022.
In 2023, Melchior, along with Gaimin Gladiators, had an incredibly successful season, placing first at Lima Major 2023, Berlin Major 2023 and Bali Major 2023. At all three tournaments, GG faced Team Liquid in the finals. For their success at the majors, the team received an invitation to The International 2023.
Gaimin Gladiators started their journey to TI 12 with a lower playoff bracket. Gradually advancing through the tournament grid, GG reached the final of the lower bracket, where they faced LGD Gaming and defeated the Chinese team 2-0. In the grand finals, the team faced Team Spirit, but lost to the TI 10 champions with a score of 3:0, taking 2nd place in the tournament. The year 2023 for the Seleri ended with participation in ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, where GG got there by direct invitational. At the end of the tournament, the team took 2nd place, losing to Azure Ray in the grand finals of the tournament with a score of 3:2.
Seleri is known as a very strong captain and fifth position player. His signature heroes are Chen and Enchantress. Good micro control and tactical thinking (Mellekor played chess in childhood) make Seleri an excellent strategist.
