Former Natus Vincere player Danil “Dendi” Ishutin has formally formed his own organization, B8, the first player to do so.
The announcement was made public via a short skit filmed and posted to the team’s new Youtube channel. The skit shows “Dendi” going fishing with his grandson and a lot of references mentioned about the game. Yep, even during the parts that have nothing to do with the game!
The story is well shot and shows the now older Dendi talking to his grandson about his time with Na’Vi. He reflects on how things were never the same after The International 2013 before the child intervenes and asks whether it was the end of the story. Dendi remains silent before giving a glimpse in his finishing line.
He then pulls a metal replica of his new organization’s logo before showing it to the kid and stating ,”it is never too late for a comeback.” Displaying Dendi B8!
The video ends on a promise to fans with more information in the near future. We can expect a roster reveal in the sometime. Prior to the qualifiers to ESL One Los Angeles Major , scheduled to begin on February 9.
Jumping to the team, we know that Dendi is in the process of finalizing his roster compete with after his previous roster failed to qualify for the Dream League Season 13 Major. Alik “V-Tune” Vorobey and Nikola “LeBronDota” Popović are two players touted for a return to Dendi’s team while the rest of the squad is expected to be filled in by new faces.
There has been quite a buzz and excitement around the announcement with the response being fairly positive. Players, commentators and even his old team were quick to wish the legendary player good luck in his newest venture. Dendi,one of the most recognizable and loved player in the Dota community. Obviously played a huge role in all the excitement around the roster update.
If things go according to plan we can see Dendi back under the shining lights of the Major in the near future, but all we can do now is wait and see whether the old man can chart his way once more.
