Matumbaman Takes Break from Competitive Dota 2 After TI9
Lasse “MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen, one of the key players in Dota 2’s The International 2019, surprised fans by announcing that he will be taking a break from competitive Dota 2 instead of entering free agency.
Matumbaman’s Journey to Chaos Esports Club
After being kicked from Team Liquid, Matumbaman spent time exploring options before joining Chaos Esports Club. The team called him up and essentially made a player swap, with w33 leaving Chaos to join Liquid.
Uncertain Future for Chaos Esports Club
Chaos was the first team eliminated at The International, leading to speculation about potential changes. With Matumbaman taking a break and KheZu and MiLAN exploring other options, Chaos is left with only MISERY and vtFαded on their current roster.
Whether Matumbaman sticks around or not will determine Chaos’ strategy. If he stays, they can focus on bringing in quality players to contend immediately. If not, they may need to build a team with young talent for the long run.
Conclusion
Matumbaman’s decision to take a break leaves Chaos Esports Club in an uncertain position. They must plan their future based on whether he returns or not. Meanwhile, Matumbaman remains open to meeting with other teams and players.
