Just a few days ago, the deadline for roster lock-ins for Dota 2’s next DPC season has ended, bringing with it a surprising number of roster moves and changes that is sure to shake up the game at the highest competitive level. Today, we’ll be taking a look at Quincy Crew, who are bringing in three new players from EU and SEA for another shot at the upcoming DPC season. With NA bleeding talent now more than ever, how will this new roster fare against the competition?
Quincy Crew Dota 2 roster
- Yawar “YawaR” Hassan (position 1)
- Quinn “Quinn” Callahan (mid-laner)
- Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann (off-laner)
- Milan “MiLAN” Kozomara (soft support)
- Remus “ponlo” Goh Zhi Xian (hard support)
At a glance
Despite placing second in the North American DPC overall to qualify directly for TI10, Quincy Crew only managed to finish near the bottom, being ousted by defending champions OG. After their performance, the team was rebuilt around YawaR and Quinn, its two most prominent players. KheZu, who previously acted as the coach, is taking over as off-laner for Rodrigo “Leslao” Santos who left the team to join Alliance. Arif “MSS” Anwar and Avery “SVG” Silverman, the supports, are replaced by MiLAN and ponlo. MiLAN previously played for Ghost Frogs in EU, while ponlo is a rising star who played for smaller teams in Southeast Asia.
Non-NA players
With Leslao moving to the EU, it’s apparent to see that North America is quickly running out of prominent professional players to bigger regions. Even Evil Geniuses, the most decorated NA team, have lost Daryl Koh “iceiceice” Peh Xiang to Team Secret. It will be interesting to see how the NA scene will adapt with veterans leaving for other regions, begging the question if this will open up new opportunities for grown in the region’s Dota 2 scene.
