I remember everyone that doubted or talked nonsense, from you I want no apologies or sympathies
this is my villain arc
with that said, really nice start from us but it doesn't mean much more than that we have a lot of potential and are in the right path, a lot of good teams were missing and many are still adapting from the shuffle window
thanks for my teammates for playing so well and carrying in games where I fucked up the draft, and once again thanks to HEROIC and the fans for the trust
many tournaments ahead... hyped!

We have made some really tough decisions in this shuffle window, and I have been struggling to find the right angle to go and discuss them in public. But with everything already announced, I'll try my best to do it properly.
The hard truth is that after doing considerably well in 2024, we had a really rough year in 2025, and our great result at TI14 doesn't overshadow that. We have been considering our next steps for a long time already.
What makes discussing it so hard is the fact that the people who got the short end of the stick are not only really good friends, but also very good professionals. And most importantly: they are not directly at fault for our struggles this year. They gave everything they had to help putting us back on track, and without them, we wouldn't have finished the season on such a high.
A couple of months ago, @mangusupma and I had a conversation and decided that the best path for both of our careers was to split up after TI. I wasn't even sure what was going to happen to me, it just ended up being me staying in HEROIC and not him. This guy is really good at what he does, and we couldn’t have accomplished what we did without him. I'm really proud that we managed to put our differences aside and truly work together to bring the best version of our team into this TI.
Going forward with @4nalog was definitely a path we could have taken. There are many timelines out there where, in this very moment, we are planning our next season together. This guy has been consistently the best SA midlaner in recent years and has the mentality of a true champion.
Those two were crucial pieces to the success of our project, and I'm glad I was able to lift a trophy together with them. I can't recommend them enough, and I'm sure they will be very successful wherever they end up.
On another note, I'm really glad that we got @DavaiLama back. We had a really great time together last year, and I always felt like we had some unfinished business. Great player, great teammate, and great human being. I truly don't understand all the hate he gets sometimes. Also, he is rank 4 in europe right now, which is not an easy feat.
The idea of @Wisper_dota2 switching roles was mine. It's a risky move, but a calculated one. I believe Wisper is talented enough to play any core role with ease. He has been constantly playing mid in his pubs for a long time, already has the hero pool for it, and has really good laning skills. We really believe if there's a guy that can pull it off, it's him, and I'm sure it's worth the shot.
I will talk more about it in the future, but I'm really excited with this group going forward, and I believe that we have everything we need to achieve the goal of being a consistent team with good results throughout the whole season, and hopefully also get some tournament wins.
Once again, thanks for the trust.

@Mateozz19 can't blame BOOM for leaving. Some players made some really fucked up shit

Very interesting to notice that Heroic has been consistently investing in SA with long term in mind basically alone and has such amazing results. Also amazing to notice that before Heroic, kj and analog were in a team playing almost for free. With all the support they developed to be top 6 of the world, and aiming for more.
Imagine how many more talents we have in the region that can’t flourish because they dont have any support at all! Congrats for the results guys, you deserve it! Now, bring this aegis to SA 🤩

@sacredota @MatthewDotaaa @Vintagedota @Thedpms_ @CysneMateus @dota2_panda I think Waska is stuck, when they ban all Darkmago’s heroes and you guys don’t know what to do. I think Lalatroni is the next Parker, has a big hero pool with confidence. Only thing is he lacks experienc
