Veteran Dota 2 player Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Ivanov has been kicked from his organization, Tundra Esports, amid the ongoing DreamLeague Season 22.
The news came as a shock to the entire Dota 2 community when the 29-year-old revealed via Twitter that he was kicked from the team only minutes before their game against Shopify Rebellion.
The Tweet reads, “LFT, just got kicked before the match.”
MinD_ContRoL’s unexpected departure from Tundra, mere weeks after joining on January 8th, sent shockwaves through the Dota 2 community. The void left by MinD_ContRoL’s removal was filled by Vladislav “laise” Lais, a former NAVI player with an impressive top 200 ranking on the Dota 2 leaderboards, who stepped in as the new offlaner for their game against Shopify Rebellion, resulting in a brief delay.
As this story continues to evolve, it’s important to note that neither party involved has released any official statements regarding the situation at hand.
With DreamLeague Season 22 in full swing, it would be interesting to see how well the new Tundra lineup fares in their upcoming games. Fans can catch the action live in the official Twitch and YouTube handles of ESL.
