With ONE Esports Singapore Major coming to a close, the Dota 2 professional scene entered a short shuffle window in which teams have the chance to tinker with their rosters without getting any Dota Pro Circuit Points penalty.

For those who haven’t qualified for the Singapore Major, the option of making roster changes became available right after the conclusion of Regional Leagues Season 1. According to the Valve rules, the teams have time to lock their rosters until April 11, 2021, the first Sunday after the Singapore Major.

All eyes were on the back-to-back TI champions in the first season of DPC Regional Leagues. Approaching the year with a revamped roster and with the eyes on the prize, OG brought to the game the same madness their fans expected, but the result was not what everyone had on their mind. OG placed fifth in the EU league and had to watch the first major from home. With TI 10 not having open qualifiers for the first time ever, this coming Season 2 of DPC Regional Leagues is extremely important for OG, who most surely want to write another page of history by adding another Aegis of Champion in their showcase. 

On April 3rd OG parted ways with Yeik “MidOne” Nai Zheng. 

OG roster:

Topias Miikka “Topson” Taavitsainen

Sébastien “Ceb” Debs

Martin “Saksa” Sazdov

Johan “N0tail” Sundstein

 

Vikin.gg started the first season of DPC Regional Leagues as one of the teams to look out for in Europe, but their impressive growth through the online period of 2020 stagnated and the first DPC run had them knocked down into the lower division. Given their underwhelming performance in the EU league, Vikin.gg benched  Tobias “Tobi” Buchner during the group play and finished the first season with Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann standing in.

On April 2nd, the organization officially announced KheZu as their new offlane player.

Fnatic came into the Singapore Major as the SEA seed #1 team, which had them starting from the playoffs upper bracket slots. Two defeats in a row knocked them out of the competition with no prize money and no extra DPC points added to their name.

NAVI were one of the teams forced to initially announce a roster adjustment for the Singapore Major after two of their players tested positive for Coronavirus. Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev was supposed to join them in Singapore, but unfortunately, he was the only one to actually arrive at the Major, as NAVI were forced to forfeit their spot entirely when their coach’s test also returned positive just before flying out.  A couple of days later, Ramzes was officially announced to have replaced Viktor “GeneRaL” Nigrini in the lineup.
