Dmitry "DM" Dorokhin parts ways with Cloud9 as the team is mostly dissolved.
Cloud9 returned to Dota 2 just a few months ago, picking up Entity in time for The International 2024. They finished in the top six at the event – impressive, but not enough to be spared from the Post-TI roster shuffles.
Vladislav "Kataomi`" Semenov was the first to depart from C9 to join BetBoom Team. A week after Kataomi’s departure, Alimzhan "watson" Islambekov, the team’s carry was recruited by Gaimin Gladiators and a week after that C9’s mid laner, Volodymyr "No[o]ne-" Minenko also made his exit – leaving the team with only two.
And now it is one.
Cloud9 current roster
Dzmitry “Fishman” Palishchuk
There is no official word if the team will be rebuilt around Fishman or if they will completely dissolve the team – and their presence in the Dota 2 scene. In April of 2020, Cloud 9 announced their departure from Dota 2. Their recent return had been fairly successful but short-lived so it is anyone's guess what they will do.
A new qualifier leg is due to unfold soon and a couple of LAN tournaments are set to take place between now and the end of the year.
Next month, BLAST will be hosting another 1M dollars tourney in Copenhagen, Denmark with 10 invited teams that are yet to be announced. Meanwhile ESL One is heading to Thailand in December for ESL One Bangkok 2024, which will feature a total of 12 teams.
