Team Shopify Rebellion | ID: 37066

Shopify Rebellion is a Canadian multi-gaming organization that began pursuing professional Dota 2 gameplay at the end of 2022.

In late 2022, Shopify Rebellion took an interest in the professional Dota 2 scene. Shortly after, they announced a roster featuring experienced ex-Evil Geniuses players such as Andreas 'Cr1t-' Franck Nielsen, Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev, Tal 'Fly' Isaac, Abed 'Abed' Azel Yusop, along with coach Kanishka 'BuLba' Sosale. Jonas 'SabeRLighT-' Volek also joined the roster as an offlaner. The emergence of Shopify Rebellion gave hope to fans of the pro scene in North America, where Dota 2 was losing its popularity.

They made their debut at the DPC NA 2023 Tour 1: Division I tournament, where they played against teams such as TSM, Nouns, B8, and others. In their first match, they easily defeated Thiuth Gaming with a score of 2-0. 

Shopify Rebellion club is also known for its accomplishments in disciplines such as Halo, StarCraft 2, VALORANT, and Rocket League. They also have an official Twitch channel where viewers can watch exclusive interviews with professional players.

After The International 2023, Shopify Rebellion has had 3 lineup changes. Abed, Cr1t and Fly left the team. Yopaj-, Thiolicor and Kitrak became newcomers.

Already next year, SR participated in DreamLeague Season 22, where they placed 7th, exiting the group stage. Next was ESL One Birmingham 2024, where the team also did not show good results, failing to leave the group. After this, Thiolicor left the team, and Skem took his place. The changes did not help the team, and at the next tournament, PGL Wallachia Season 1, Shopify Rebellion placed 9-11th, and then at DreamLeague Season 23, the team again failed to advance from the group. In June, the qualifiers for the Riyadh Masters 2024 and The International started, but the team failed to qualify for the main part of either tournament, losing decisive matches in the qualification finals, but received a direct invitation to Elite League Season 2.
