Nouns Esports, one of the biggest names in the North American Dota 2 scene, has officially announced its departure from the competitive scene of the MOBA, marking the end of an era.
The organization confirmed the news via a post on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we announce we will be stepping back from Dota 2,” Nouns said in a statement. “The last two and a half years have been an incredible journey, together we established our legacy of representing North America on the biggest stages in Dota 2.”
While they didn’t specify the exact reason for the team’s disbandment, financial challenges seemed to be a contributing factor.
“Dota 2 is as demanding as it is rewarding, both competitively and commercially,” the statement reads.
Following Nouns’ exit from Dota 2, its roster—featuring Yuma “Yuma” Langlet, Philipp “Copy” Bühler, Nico “Gunnar” Lopez, Rodrigo “Lelis” Santos, and Tal “Fly” Aizik—will now be looking for other teams as free agents.
Despite their departure, Nouns have left their options open for a potential return to Dota 2 in the future, as evident from the announcement itself.
“Our love for Dota remains strong, and with the right partner, we are open to a future return to the scene, aiming once more to be North America’s finest.” the org stated.
