Shopify is aiming for better results this season following a challenging period where they struggled to maintain their top position in the North American region. With the departure of iconic player Artour “Arteezy” Babaev, the organization is seeking to redefine itself with a more diverse and international roster.
Given no strict rules on region requirements for teams, it is expected that Dota 2 organizations will continue to feature diverse squads. Shopify’s current roster includes players from Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America, but no native North American players. This blend reflects the merging of the Americas regions in competitive play.
Timado, mangekyou, Hellscream, and the rest of Shopify Rebellion will be competing in the BB Dacha Belgrade Americas Closed Qualifiers today (Sep. 23), and are also set to participate in the DreamLeague S24 qualifiers later this month.
