The Midlane Puzzle
While BOOM Esports has assembled an impressive lineup, the midlaner position remains vacant. The absence of a key player in this role adds an element of suspense to the team’s dynamics, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the announcement of the final member.
January 2024 Competition and Potential Trialist
CEO Gary Ongko Putera, in an X podcast, shared insights into BOOM Esports’ immediate plans. The team is set to compete in a tournament in January 2024, but interestingly, they won’t be utilizing a stand-in. Instead, BOOM Esports aims to showcase a trialist who might secure a permanent spot depending on their performance and willingness to commit.
Ongko stated, “The lineup is not fully complete. We’re not using a stand-in. It’s more like a trial, so he’s not officially part of the team yet. It depends on whether he wants to sign.”
Timado’s Transition
Adding a layer of intrigue to the Dota 2 scene, it’s worth noting that Timado, a key player for Tundra in previous years, is now on the lookout for a new club. This suggests a potential shift in Tundra’s core lineup. Fans await an official announcement from the organization to shed light on this transition and unveil the new carry player.
