Mikoto is back, joins Bleed Esports

Bleed Esports roster is complete and ready to enter the DreamLeague Season 22 qualifiers.

After swapping players with no results for the last few months, Bleed Esports introduced a new roster ready to debut at DreamLeague Season 22 regional qualifiers.  One of the best mid laners in 2023, Rafli "Mikoto" Fathur Rahman returns from an extended post TI12 break to join Bleed Esports, while SEA veteran Wilson "poloson" Koh replaces Tommy "Taiga" Le in the hard support role.

 Mikoto returns to active play after spending a successful 2023 year at Talon Esports. With him in the mid lane, Talon established themselves as the best SEA team heading into The International 2023. Their Dota Pro Circuit SEA regional league constant performance led to a third place finish at Lima Major 2023, a top eight placement at the ESL One Berlin Major 2023 and again to a 3rd place finish at the $15,000,000 Riyadh Masters 2023.

However, despite their strong showing throughout the year, Talon underperformed on the TI12 stage and returned home with just a 9th-12th placement. All players left the team in the event aftermath, with four of them moving as a unit to Aurora Gaming.

Mikoto was the only one to skip the start of the new competitive season and take a two-month break. Bleed Esports is his first venture to a new organisation after spending the last two years under the Talon Esports banner.
