"As a professional player I have fought for many years. Even though I've now retired from that line, I still love Dota 2 as a game, so I hope to be able to continue working within Dota 2. Today I'm very honored to be able to join VG, become a part of their big family. VG is a very strong team, and I hope that I can work hard with the players, and collectively create new successes!"
