Entity Gaming have announced their roster in the lead up to The International 9 Qualifiers. The lineup consists of three stars of the Indian Dota 2 circuit with two experienced imports. Entity Gaming have already qualified for the ESL INDIA Premiership 2019 Summer LAN Finale that is scheduled to take place on 29-30 June in Mumbai.
Interestingly, the roster that is set to represent Entity at Mumbai has been kept intact, with just one change to the lineup. Sandro ‘Luciano’ Aguinaldo comes into the squad and will be donning the ‘Offlane’ role for the organization.
Luciano is a well-renowned name within the South East Asian Dota 2 scene. The 23-year-old represented Detonator previously and was last seen playing alongside Julz, flysolo and Sam_H in team ‘Looking for Sponsor’.
Entity Gaming have a somewhat rich recent history as far as The International qualifiers are concerned. The lineup that included the storied Dota 2 journeyman Dominik ‘Black^’ Reitmeier managed to win one of the SEA Open Qualifiers and even made it into the Playoffs of the Regional Qualifiers of The International 8.
The aforementioned lineup did not have a single Indian Dota 2 player however, which will be added motivation for the announced roster. Moon, Divine and Zapheto have already etched their names among the top brass of the Indian Dota 2 scene and will now be aiming to conquer SEA as they pit their wits against the best that the region has to offer, starting with the TI9 Open Qualifiers.
Entity Gaming roster for The International 2019 SEA Open Qualifier:
- Travis “Castaway” Waters
- Krish “Moon” Gupta
- Sandro “Luciano” Aguinaldo
- Amit “Zapheto” Malwal
- Shahab “Divine” Saleha
