Under the leadership of veterans 33 and Fata, the roster secured a respectable 3rd place position in the tourney, ahead of top tier Europe teams like Nigma, Secret, OG and Alliance. In their debut tournament, the BTS Pro Series Season 3: Europe/CIS, they finished as the runner-ups.
However, their performance dipped considerably at the DOTA Summit 13 Online: Europe & CIS to only accomplish a 5-8th spot. Their EPIC League journey started strong, but they fell apart miserably to end in the bottom two positions of the group stage, eliminating them from Division 1.
Their midlaner, BoraNija, revealed yesterday that he had departed from the team- a change that made people contemplate the decision, considering mudgolems was doing decently as a new stack and had been looking for an organization.
According to Kyle, mudgolems has parted ways with its midlaner only 13 days after publicly announcing that they were looking to get hired. Kyle has stated that if a team wants to get acquired by an organization, they need to become a “sound investment option” for them and not look like a random stack. Kyle also mentions that DPC’s resumption was still a month away and such roster changes make it difficult for Dota 2 teams to find organizations.
