Dota 2 Icon Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin’s new team organization Team B8 has announced their first official roster.

1. Alexandr 'pio65' Zalivako
2. Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin
3. Andrey 'Ghostik' Kadyk
4. Rinat 'KingR' Abdullin
5. Nikola 'LeBron' Popović

Dendi began the journey for his own team organization after his departure from Navi, following the footsteps of former Navi teammates, Clement ‘Puppey’ Ivanov and Kuro ‘KuroKy’ Salehi Takhasomi, who both created their own organizations. The team started out as a stack which registered in the DPC under the name Viet Flashback, comprising of Alik ‘V-Tune’ Vorobey, Dendi, Alexey ‘nongrata’ Vasilyev, KingR, and LeBron. Their first appearance grants them a 2nd place finish at Kyivstar Autumn Cup in December, 2019.

The roster would go unfortunately go through many changes leading up to now. After a follow up tournament securing their first first-place finish at the Rivalry Winter Blast with V-Tune having already parted ways, nongrata gets poached by Team Spirit for the Bukoval Minor. Even during their boot camping before the finalized roster was released, Zaur ‘Cooman’ Shakhmurzaev was poached by Virtus.Pro as a stand-in.

Team B8 first official roster

Out of their whole roster, the only standout “new kid on the block” is pio65. A position 1 from Belarus most recently part of the Gentlement stack in the CIS region. He later parted way with the team after they got picked up by an organization. He found moderate success in the lower leagues of the CIS region, but will hopefully prove stronger enough to carry them through the open qualifiers.

Qualifiers start tomorrow, this friday, and Team B8 will have to fight up against teams like Winstrike Team, Fly to Moon, Khans, and many other potential stacks. Be sure to tune in and follow their progression HERE.
