Gorgc brings back Dota 2 meme team for Riyadh tournament, but faces setbacks

Team Bald makes a brief comeback in the Riyadh Masters MENA Open qualifiers

In a surprising turn of events, popular Dota 2 streamer Gorgc decided to revive Team Bald for the Riyadh Masters MENA open qualifiers. The team, which was assembled quickly on May 29, sought to build a name for themselves in an area of the eSports industry that is typically overlooked. Unfortunately, their journey ended in their first match against the fearsome Night Pulse, led by former NAVI player V-Tune. Despite the loss, Team Bald’s performance in the qualification was remarkable, especially given the difficult opposition.

The Lineup and Strategy of Team Bald

Team Bald’s roster included Gorgc as the carry, ex-Nigma Galaxy star Mikey in the mid lane, Iranian great Winter Bear’s Kachal in the off lane, TI11 champion Saksa as the soft support, and another Winter Bear player Nagato in the hard support role. This diversified squad contributed various skills to the team, but they were ultimately unable to overcome the hurdles presented by their opponents.

The Community’s Response and Future Prospects

Gorgc chronicled the team’s journey with the Dota 2 community via his Twitch channel, raising excitement and anticipation for a victorious comeback. Despite the loss in the open qualifiers, fans remain enthusiastic about Team Bald’s chances in future tournaments. Gorgc’s statement about attempting the TI open qualifiers later this year suggests that the team’s competitive aspirations may continue, albeit with lineup changes.

As Team Bald considers their performance in the Riyadh Masters MENA open qualifications, they are inspired to strive for even greater success in future events. With a large fan base and a dedicated lineup, the team is still keen to build a name for itself in the competitive Dota 2 arena. Despite an early setback, the future looks promising for Team Bald’s revival in the eSports sphere.
