Words from Xepher, The God of Rubick for the Geek Family.

A short Interview session from Xepher regarding our Indefinite Hiatus

Hey Fam. It’s with great sadness that we are announcing the release of our Geek Fam Dota 2 team. We are extremely proud of the achievements that our team has achieved, however, the coronavirus pandemic has affected us in many aspects.

With the cancelling of Dota 2 Minor and Major tournaments of the season due to safety concerns, it is very difficult for us to continue with the indefinite delay for TI10 and Dota Pro Circuit.

Our geeks showed us what they were really made of during the ESL SEA Qualifier, finishing 1st and with a record of 9 wins and a single loss. After that, we did so much to get the team’s visas done. Flying some of our players and managers to Singapore to get their visas just because it was the earliest possible visa appointment slot and it being rejected, and then having to rush and fly in to Malaysia for another round of visa application. Our team and management worked tirelessly to prepare our players for their visa interviews. After the initial celebration of clearing the USA Visa Qualifiers, all the excitement built up, when we went to Los Angeles a week before the Major started to avoid possible jet lag and practise with other teams. It brought us huge disappointment when the Covid lockdown in the USA was announced just 36 hours before the tournament was due to start. The announcement pushed us to the edge, and we had to fly out 24 hours after the announcement with only emotional baggage to carry back with us. We said goodbye to each other and ESL One LA, and flew all our players back to their respective countries.

With no updates to the Dota Pro Circuit up until now, we have decided to put a pause on our Dota 2 journey. Once there is a visible future for Dota 2 and the DPC, we will be back, but until then, we say goodbye to our geeks. To Kuku, Karl, Xepher, Whitemon and even Raven, Ryoya and Dubu. Thank you for being part of the fam and you know it as well as we do, Once A Geek, Always A Fam! Thank you to all our fams that have supported us, whether you were already a long time fan or just only part of the fams within this season, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
