Team Team is the newest roster to register in North America consisting of four well-known players from the region and one Brazilian.
With all of the roster changes and shuffles happening, a new team has emerged from the dust in the NA region and is ready to take on some of the biggest giants in the world. Team Team has taken four of the most well-known free agents in the region and added in a spicy Brazilian to the mix in hopes to create a recipe for success.
Braxton "Brax" Paulson might be known most recently as one of the talent staff at Moonduck, but his Dota 2 career extends far back to 2012, playing for teams such as LGD.International, Na'Vi.NA and Cloud 9. The veteran player is now bracing for a return back to the competitive scene in time for the new season.
Jason "Newsham" Newsham and Michael "ixmike88" Ghannam both are staple North American competitors who seem to always be listed on the various teams that make it to the regional qualifiers for the big events. However, neither has seen as much success as they would have wanted in the last year and are looking to create something more substantial and make a bigger impact this season.
Recently departed from Immortals, Eric 'Ryoya' Dong has joined forces with the four other NA players, adding his recent success and experiences in the DPC events to the mix.
Most surprising to this group is the addition of the one South American - Guilherme Silva "Costabile" Costábile. Costabile hails from SG esports most recently, spending a year with the organization and having graced the DPC LAN stages at GESC: Thailand Minor, Starladder imbaTV season 5, ESL One Genting, Dota Pit Major, ESL One Hamburg 2017 and Starladder iLeague invitational 3. Quite a lengthy resume for a young South American player.
Team Team will be representing NA in the upcoming Major and Minor qualifiers.
