Još loših vesti za profesionalnu Dota 2 scenu. Zbog novih slučajeva korona virusa unutar organizacije, Ekipe Na’Vi i beastcoast su odlučile da se povuku sa turnira, svega dan početak Majora u Singapuru.
Na twitter-u se prvo oglasio beastcoast, sa zvaničnom objavom da će tim propustiti Major, jer je njihov kapiten, Stiven ”StingeR” Vargas, COVID pozitivan. Ostali igrači su pod mogućim rizikom.
Beastcoast trenutno važi za jednu od najjačih Dota 2 ekipu u Južnoj Americi.

Ukrajinska organizacija je pre samo nekoliko dana najavila izmene u ekipi, jer su njihovi igrači, Andri “ALWAYSWANNAFLY” Bondarenko i Bogdan “Iceberg” Vasilenko COVID pozitivni. Na’Vi se juče ponovo oglasio sa vestima da je njihov trener i izmena, Andrej ”Mag” Čipenko, takođe COVID pozitivan.
We regret to inform you that we have decided to withdraw from the ONE Esports #SingaporeMajor 2021. The main issue is due to COVID-19 but that’s not all. Here are the answers to all your possible questions.

Maleru tu nije kraj međutim. Nakon vesti o treneru ekipe, Na’Vi je planirao da naš Nikola ”LeBron” Popović zauzme njegovo mesto, ali su ga problemi sa rasporedom avionskih letova nažalost sprečili da stigne u Singapur na vreme.
Spent whole day waiting for new ticket but in the end it didnt worked out. Sadge

Slična situacija je zadesila i Milana ”MiLAN” Kozomaru, koji je trebalo da se takmiči za tim Quncy Crew.
Our standin @milandota2 was on the same flight as @LeBronDoTa and encountered the same issue. He travelled for hours across national borders to even make this Belgrade flight, for that we will always be appreciative and thankful. We are still awaiting authorization on standins https://t.co/u0Z8HqyYhM

Pošto se Na’Vi povukao sa turnira, njihova druga izmena, carry igrač RAMZES666, je sada u poziciji da po potrebi podrži neku drugu ekipu na Majoru.
Huge thanks to @DOTA2 @valvesoftware for granting a formal permission to @ramzes to play at the #SingaporeMajor. https://t.co/9cvwC7TWg5
