The Serbian esports organization, 9Pandas, has announced their new roster for the upcoming Dota 2 tournaments. The roster reveal was made on the team’s official Telegram channel and includes the return of Alexey “Solo” Berezin from inactive status. Joining him are Daniil “erase” Ivanov and Maksim “pjoN” Netrebskiy, who will be standing in for the team during the DreamLeague Season 24 qualifiers.
Solo is making a comeback after being moved to the inactive roster in July due to the team’s underwhelming performance at various qualifiers. Despite his previous reputation, Solo is known as one of the top players in the EEU Dota scene and brings a wealth of experience as a captain.
Joining Solo are Daniil “erase” Ivanov, who transitions from Yellow Submarine to take on the mid laner role, and Maksim “pjoN” Netrebskiy, a skilled offlaner known for his prowess with Mars. PJoN will be filling in for Albert “alberkaaa” Chernoivanov during the qualifiers, as Alberkaaa is currently competing for L1GA TEAM.
These new additions will complement the existing 9Pandas players, Mikhail “Darklord^” Blinov and Oleg “sayuw” Kalenbet, to form a formidable qualifier roster.

While 9Pandas will miss out on playing in BetBoom Dacha Belgrade, their focus is now on qualifying for DreamLeague Season 24. This strategic decision aligns with their goal of earning Dota 2 EPT Points, which could lead them to prestigious events like ESL One Bangkok.
