After several months of absence, FlipSid3 returns with a new roster, previously called Phoenix Rising. The team consists of many familiar names in the European scene, and shows a lot of potential in paper.
The last time we saw a stable roster from FlipSid3 Tactics was October 2013, when they were represented by Team Space, a roster left sponsorless by the disbandment of Absolute Legends. Although the organization sponsored a Russian squad that had a strong presence in European tournaments, the desire for a new squad still existed.
On Saturday, March 15th, FlipSid3 announced that they will be entering the modern DotA2 scene once again, sponsoring a rather unknown squad with the alias 'Phoenix Rising'. However, looking at the roster of FlipSid3, one can find a bunch of known and experienced players who can surely handle the pressure of competitive gaming well.
The new roster :
| Player name | Known Previous Squad |
|---|---|
 Ylli “Garter” Ramadani | Virus Gaming |
 Bjorn “QuiX” Granstrom | Keita Gaming, TCM Gaming (ex-Svenhunterz), NoTidehunter |
 Maxim “TpoH” Vernikov | RoX.KIS, Oslik Gaming |
 Nikola “GASHAMONSTER” Gavran | TCM Gaming (ex-Svenhunterz) |
| Marcus “Werne” Werneskog | TCM Gaming (ex-Svenhunterz) |
