The announcement came just minutes after ESL revealed that the team would be playing in the next edition of the Pro League as BOOM Esports, confirming a previous report from ESPN Esports Brasil linking the Brazilians with a move to the Indonesian organisation, who are mostly known for their Dota 2 squad.
