Old G Faces Disarray as Support Player Abruptly Leaves during Dota Pro Circuit Summer Season
Old G, a professional esports team, experienced turmoil when their support player, Aramis, made a sudden exit during the Dota Pro Circuit Summer season. This unexpected move left Old G at a significant disadvantage in their game against Nigma Galaxy.
Aramis has not provided a statement regarding his decision to withdraw from the current DPC season. However, Old G members have been discussing the matter on Twitch.
Confusion Surrounds Aramis’ Departure
Sébastien “Ceb” Debs, a member of Old G, acknowledged the situation on Janne “Gorgc” Stefanovski’s livestream, saying, “We have a small situation. We don’t even know what’s going on ourselves.”
Unexpected Departure Leaves Team at a Disadvantage
Aramis’ departure came as a surprise to everyone, including two-time The International winner Ceb, who still considers Aramis to be a well-mannered player despite his inability to continue playing.
Aramis’ Decision Leaves Old G Community Questioning
Volodymyr “No[o]ne- ” Minenko spoke about Aramis’ decision with Dota 2 caster Oleksii “STORM” Tumanov. Aramis informed the team via Discord, simply stating, “I’m quitting the team, goodbye,” and declaring that he would not play another match with Old G.
These recent events prompted members of the Dota 2 community to question Aramis’ professionalism. Many believe that if he had a legitimate reason for missing matches, he should have made a statement or sought an exception from Valve.
Valve and Organizers Seek Solutions for Roster Issues
Valve and tournament organizers strive to find solutions for teams facing unexpected roster problems during DPC seasons. For example, B8, a team based in Europe, was permitted to compete in the NA DPC and retain their spot in division one.

Dota 2 fans have referred to the series of events Old G is experiencing as “the most bizarre” in the game’s history. Others have emphasized that such a move without a valid excuse could harm Aramis’ competitive Dota career.
Given Old G’s controversial removal from the Spring season, fans are disheartened to see the team face similar issues after purchasing a slot.
