MiSeRy departs from Dota 2 roster two months after joining
MiSeRy’s time with OpTic Gaming in the Dota 2 scene was short lived, as the player now departed to look for “something new”.
Less than two months into the team’s formation, Rasmus “MiSeRy” Filipsen is moving on. After Ludwig “zai” Wahlberg and Peter “ppd” Dager’s respective departures from Evil Geniuses, the stack they formed with Per Olsson “Pajkatt” Lille, Quinn “CC&C” Callahan, and MiSeRy was picked up by OpTic as its first Dota 2 squad in September.
The news were confirmed by OpTic through a blog post on their official website yesterday, where they also mentioned that Martin “Saksa” Sazdov would be replacing MiSeRy as a temporary stand-in.
The news comes as a surprise, considering that OpTic took first place in the American division of MoonduckTV’s Midas Mode tournament. They also qualified for the $235,000 ROG Masters tournament taking place in Malaysia next week.
It was cleared up somewhat by ppd through statements he made on his Twitch stream. “MiSeRy was not kicked; he just didn’t want to play anymore,” said ppd. “He’s on to new things, and so are we.”
On the other hand, this is Saksa’s first team after leaving the now-defunct MidOrFeed at the end of September. At the time of writing, MiSeRy’s new team has yet to be announced, but rumors are circulating on social media that he and Aliwi “w33” Omar will be reuniting to form their own squad.
MiSeRy and w33 played together under Digital Chaos, where they reached the grand finals of The International 6.
