Jabz, iceiceice & ninjaboogie Depart From Mineski

The first Southeast Asian team to ever win a Dota2 Major event has disbanded.

Mineski, who carried the hopes of SEA during the previous TI released a Facebook post on their official page stating that Daryl ‘iceiceice’ Koh, Anucha ‘Jabz’ Jirawong & Michael ‘ninjaboogie’ Ross have left the team.

The Southeast Asian squad is now only made up of two Malaysians, Chai ‘Mushi’ Yee Fung & Kam ‘Moon’ Boon Seng. With TNC already announcing their roster, it will be a big question mark as to who will fill up the remaining slots of the team.

Kam ‘Moon’ Boon Seng – Position 2 Mid

The team was understandably disappointed with their TI8 run as they only managed to finished 9^th – 12^th after losing to Virtus.Pro in the lower bracket of the tournament. However, the team showed huge strides when they won the Dota 2 Asia Championship, making them the first ever team from Southeast Asia to win a Dota 2 Major.

Mineski will always be a team that is a household name in competitive Dota for the region. Everyone will definitely be keeping a close eye on their squad to see who will be stepping in to fill the ranks of this legendary organization and partner up with Mushi & Moon.
