Team Zero has officially announced their Dota 2 roster, with Xiong “Pyw” Jiahan stepping in to replace the departed player, Remus “ponlo” Goh. The roster for the upcoming qualifiers was revealed on Team Zero’s official Weibo account on September 23rd.
After making their TI debut at The International 2024 (TI13) and finishing in last place, Team Zero is determined to achieve more success in future tournaments.

Team Zero’s New Dota 2 Roster
Similar to other Dota 2 teams competing in the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 Qualifiers, Team Zero had limited time to finalize their roster for the new season.
Pyw is currently filling in the position-4 support role as a stand-in. Despite this temporary arrangement, the team is showing resilience by maintaining most of their original lineup.
Ponlo’s Departure
Ponlo parted ways with Team Zero shortly after TI13. Expressing disappointment in his own performance, he is now looking to join a team in Europe to further improve his gameplay.

Despite the challenges faced, Team Zero should be proud of their accomplishments, especially representing the Esports scene in Singapore at TI13.
Left Team Zero, planning to relocate to play EU pubs soon. Primary goal is to improve and be the most annoying pos4 to play against. Hope to find my people that I’d want to play with till the end of my career

Team Zero at TI13
Despite their disappointing finish at TI13, Team Zero achieved significant milestones to reach the tournament. They dominated the China TI13 Qualifiers, defeating strong teams like G2 x iG and Azure Ray. In the group stage, they topped their group, surpassing teams like Team Falcons, BetBoom Team, and Nouns Esports.
Although they faced setbacks against Aurora Gaming and 1w Team in the playoffs, Team Zero’s determination and consistency with their roster for the past two years are commendable.
