dd.Dota Roster:

While we all know the power of the French trio, they've struggled to find a stable lineup of five after the missfortunes that befellin the leadup to. They have since tried out a number of players, playing with some of the Danish talent includingSylvester '' Hoelgaard,Christoffer '' Winther andAndreas '' Nielsen before most recently joining up withDaniel '' Rovardi and Rani '' Al Hajj, but while showing some glimpses of good play, the lineup was not working out, leading to the departure of the blr and BABARRR.In their place now join one of the most well respected Captains and drafters of the scene, Goblak, the man behind the rise of thename in Dota 2, followed by attending The International 2 withand then joining up with Team Empire last fall. His interesting take on the game will now be matched up with strategic insights ofSébastien '' Debs to create a highly potent pairing under the leadership of Goblak.The second player to join up is Silent, who formed the second half of the succesfull support duo of Empire during their reign of the Western scene, and who also has a fair amount of experience having been part of thelineup at The International 2012. While Silent is best known for his support play, he is a versatile player who used to take up the offlane sometimes for Empire and even played a fair few games as carry for M5, rounding out the overall very flexible new lineup.The team is unlikely to settle for specific roles for now, as every player on the team is capable of switching around as is needed and depending on heroes. This unpredictability will likely server them well in the draft, as it not only makes finding a composition easier, but also serves to upset expectations of the enemy.The following statement was issued to joinDOTA byTitouan '' Merloz:While CaptainArtur '' Kostenko does not like to make statements, he did wish for us to convey that he has known the other members of his new team for a long time and that he has the utmost respect for them as individuals and players. He has also told joinDOTA that the impulse for the team has come out of a wish to try something new with an international roster, an endeavour in which we wish him all the best.Artur '' Kostenko (Captain)Sébastien '' DebsThubault '' CalonneTitouan '' MerlozAirat '' GazievDavid '' Pella (Manager)
