Veteran Chinese Dota 2 Coach rOtK Receives Offer to Coach Stacked Team
A private conversation between veteran Chinese Dota 2 coach rOtK and former Virtus Pro general manager Roman Dvoryankin was recently released. Dvoryankin stated that he was representing a group of players who had requested the contact.
The team that rOtK received an offer to coach reportedly includes long-time VP stalwarts and three of the five players who dominated the professional circuit in 2017 and 2018: no[o]ne, Solo, and RAMZES666. Additionally, SumaiL, who left OG in July, is said to be joining the team as its midlaner, with no[o]ne switching to the offlane and RAMZES playing position one.
Dvoryankin confirmed his contact with the veteran Chinese coach in a statement to Cybersport.ru.
“We actually spoke with rOtK a couple of days ago,” Dvoryankin said. “He has already apologized for showing the correspondence on the stream, I have nothing more to add yet.”
In the conversation, ROtK expressed his fatigue from the Chinese offseason reshuffle events. Dvoryankin responded by informing him that the players will only start playing together in December or January, potentially aiming for a fresh start in the upcoming Dota Pro Circuit. He also urged rOtK to consider his offer.
ROtK has played and coached for several of China’s top Dota 2 organizations, most recently opting out of a contract renewal with Vici Gaming.
VP’s main team has been inactive since Sept. 23, even withdrawing from the $400,000 ESL One Germany despite being directly invited. The CIS organization’s roster revamp this offseason has so far been unable to reach the heights of its two-year dominance of the scene.
