nouns Prepares for 2024 Dota 2 Season
The Dota 2 roster of nouns remains incomplete, lacking crucial roles in the carry and solo mid-lane positions.
Despite the void in these key positions, the team officially declared its intention to participate in the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 qualifiers.
It named two stand-ins for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 — Yuma "Yuma" Langlet, the current carry for Nigma Galaxy, and Daniel "Stormstormer" Schoetzau, presently listed in the inactive roster of Entity. This strategic decision suggests a proactive approach to filling the vacant slots on the team's roster.
Nouns Esports said, “While we work on finalizing our 2024 roster, we're gonna bring some friends along for the start of the season! @StormingStorm @yumadota. Join us in welcoming Stormstormer and Yuma to the team! They'll be standing in for our ESL One Kuala Lumpur journey!”
With ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Open Qualifiers #2 commencing tomorrow on 14th November, the team is poised to make it to the closed qualifiers and the main event eventually.
The anticipation surrounding the recruitment for the carry and mid lane roles adds an intriguing layer to the team's dynamics. Several formidable players, recently turned free agents, present potential options for nouns.
