It is always sad to say goodbye to some Dota2 teams, but as a competitive

game, this seems to be inevitable. Even though they had a pretty good roster, Winstrikewas unable to qualify for pretty much any notable tournament.

Although team roster has been adjusted several times before, it turned out to be unsuccessful. Because of this, the CIS team completely crumbled in the qualifiers for the first Major of this DPC. That seems to be the last nail in the coffin as they decided to release their roster.

The last remaining members of the team were Alexander “Nofear” Churochkin, Zaur “Cooman” Shakhmurzaev and Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk. They were the last three players that carried over from the original roster.

Winstrike will try to re-build their entire roster from the ground up. In order to accomplish this, they decided to pick up Arsenij “ArsZeeqq” Usov. Usov used to be the coach of Virtus. Pro until a couple of months ago. However, after the team failed to achieve much at TI 9, he and Pavel “9pasha” Khvastunov left VP.

It is not yet known whether Winstrike will build a Dota2 team again in the future.
