Shopify Rebellion's new direction for their Dota 2 team

North American supergiants Shopify Rebellion had a disastrous TI campaign. They lacked teamwork and the ability to hold onto the gold lead in important matchups. Consequently, key talents from the roster left the organization. Abed "Abed" Yusop, Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen, and the captain Tal "Fly" Aizik were released.

Shopify Rebellion retained Artour "Arteezy" Babaev and Jonáš "SabeRLight-" Volek and is expected to build a new squad around them. Coupled with that, much to the fans' dismay, Kanishka "BuLba" Sosale remains the coach of Shopify.

The TI10 champions started the TI12 campaign with their latest addition, Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen. However, they lacked charm and couldn't adapt to the current meta, leading to their elimination from The International 2023 Lower Bracket Round 1 at the hands of nouns, a tier-2 team.

Hence, their post-TI roster change saw the main talents part ways. In a span of four days, Leon "Nine" Kirilin, Oliver "skiter" Lepko, Jingjun "Sneyking" Wu, and Neta "33" Shapira left the London-based organization. Nine went on to announce the following in his recent Twitter post:

"I am going on an extended competitive-dota break. I am forever grateful for the last 3 years with Tundra, both the players and the org. I have fulfilled my dream with friends i hold dear, and experienced things i will never forget."

Fans expect the management to build a team around the two-time Aegis winner, Topson, for the upcoming major. TI5 winner Kurtis "Aui_2000" Ling is the coach of Tundra.
