Three stars of the CIS region officially go inactive from competitive Dota 2.
More post-TI roster news is here as the three core players of BetBoom Team announce their hiatus. Notable CIS stars - Nightfall (also known as Saika), gpk, and TORONTOTOKYO, are officially inactive from the Dota 2 professional scene following the conclusion of The International 2024 (TI13).
Nightfall, gpk, and TORONTOTOKYO join the pool of inactive players
The Dota 2 off-season this year spiraled quickly with not only roster shuffles but also big names announcing their hiatus from the Dota 2 competitive scene. The three core players of BetBoom Team are among the recent ones to do so.
These names all held glorious reputations in their respective roles. Nightfall was among the best carry players in the world, gpk was a prominent midlaner, and TORONTOTOKYO - aside from being a TI champion - impressed the community with his successful switch from the midlane to captaincy.
It is also a surprise to see particularly the two players take a step back from Dota 2 at such a young age: Nightfall at 22 and gpk at 23. A lot of people assume that many Dota 2 pros are facing burnout due to the saturated schedule in the Dota 2 competitive scene this year. There were indeed many back-to-back Dota 2 tournaments that saw little to no breaks in between.
