RodjER to Stand In for Team Spirit’s Mira

Team Spirit have announced that they will compete at the upcoming GAMERS GALAXY with a stand-in. 28-years-old Russian player Vladimir "RodjER" Nikogosian will replace the 22-years-old Ukrainian Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov on the support role.

The organization explained that Mira is currently in Ukraine and will not be able to participate in the event, likely due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The statement reads that the player is safe and is getting all necessary support. The other Ukrainian member of the team, 18-years-old carry Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk is expected to partake in the event.

RodjER is mainly known for his time with Virtus.pro (2018 – 2019) and Natus Vincere (2017 – 2018, 2020 – 2021). For the last three months he has been playing for a team CIS Rejects with his former teammates – together they managed to win the second division of the Eastern European Dota Pro Circuit 2021/2022 Tour 1. They also finished 4th in the sixth season and 9-12th in the seventh season of Dota 2 Champions League.

GAMERS GALAXY: Invitational Series Dubai 2022 is scheduled for March 2nd – 6th and will be hosted at Dubai Studio City, featuring a $270,000 prize pool. As we reported earlier, Team Spirit have been seeded into Group A alongside Fnatic, Nigma, TSM and Tundra.
