DuBu is the new coach of Blacklist International

South Korean eSports player Doo Young DuBu Kim has joined the Blacklist International eSports club as the new Dota 2 squad coach. The announcement was made on the organization's social media accounts.

Prior to joining Blacklist International, Kim played for Bleed Esports as a player - he left the team in November 2023. This will not be DuBu first coaching experience: he has previously served as a mentor for Fnatic and CR4ZY.

Blacklist International is a multigaming organization from Southeast Asia, owned by Tier One Entertainment Inc. an agency that specializes in cybersports and video games. The club is best known for its performance in Garena Free Fire, Call of Duty: Mobile, and PUBG, and has also established itself as one of the best teams in the pro scene with Mobile: Legends: Bang Bang.

The club should provide a replacement for the player in the near future, as on January 26 the team will start playing in the closed qualification at ESL One Birmingham 2024 for Southeast Asia.
