Heroic said, "We are excited to announce that over the next few months, we're expanding our esports presence."
The official announcement, published on Heroic's website, revealed the team's commitment to creating a competitive roster for Dota 2. The statement read,"In Dota 2, we are currently building a highly competitive roster and will participate in the new open circuit in 2024. Heroic will bring flair and fresh energy to Dota 2, to shake things up and building storylines that carry through the year, not only focus on TI."
Heroic's decision to enter the Dota 2 scene signifies a strategic move to broaden its esports horizons, highlighting its intention to create an impact beyond their dominance in CS:GO and soar to newer heights.

The expansion promises to add a new layer of excitement to the competitive Dota 2 landscape, as Heroic's involvement is set to create more dynamic storylines and intense rivalries within the scene.
As Heroic assembles its Dota 2 roster, the esports world will be watching closely to see how it fares in this new endeavor. Whether the team will introduce new faces to the scene or recruit old veterans of the game is a question Heroic fans will have.
