Top 5 Dota 2 Players Who Are Absent at DPC 2021 Season 2

DPC 2021 has entered the regular season 2 competition which started this week, on April 13 to be exact. Many teams are improving and evaluating their achievements in the previous round, including the teams that competed in the Singapore Major. Several decisions and surprising news also came from strong teams, including NaVI and NIGMA. Meanwhile, the news of Ana’s return was a breath of fresh air for the OG team and their fans.

Entering DPC 2021 Season 2, fans will not be able to witness some of the top pro players of the best Dota 2 players in the world. In fact, this round is the last chance for every pro player to get a chance to appear in the highest event The International 10. As a result, the only way for those who are not registered as a roster is to wait for the opportunity to become a stand-in player on a team that already playing in the Regional League.
So, who are the Dota 2 Top Pro Players who are absent from DPC 2021 Season 2?

Top 5 Dota 2 Players Who Are Absent In DPC 2021 Season 2

1. SumaiL
SumaiL’s return to the competitive scene of Dota 2 has been one of the most anticipated topics. The TI5 champion was last seen playing for the Just Error team in the Epic League in November-December 2020 ago but since then, there has been no information or hint of SumaiL returning to the competitive scene. There had been rumors that he had actually joined the roster of a team but registered him late for Season 1. SumaiL seems to be still selective about joining a team. He feels that he has not found meaningful success after appearing with Evil Geniuses at TI9.

SumaiL himself is still actively playing rank games in the NA region and although he is not very active on social media, his fanbase is quite large, especially because of his reputation for winning at TI5. It will be interesting to see if the 22-year-old will be able to return to the Dota Pro Circuit before TI10 starts.

*UPDATES :

SumaiL finally returned to the Dota 2 scene by joining Team Liquid. SumaiL entered as a roster with a stand-in status filling the position of Samuel “Boxi” Svahn to appear at the Dota Pro Circuit 2021 Season 2.

2. Sccc
The player who plays as a mid-laner has emerged after a series of solid performances at The International, TI7. However, currently Sccc has been absent from the competitive scene for more than three months. Like SumaiL, Sccc left the Newbee roster after joining TI9 after being their main player since 2016. He played for a year for Team Aster then briefly played for EHOME before opting to leave the team just as the first season was about to start. During his hiatus as a player, Sccc was active in broadcasting on the Chinese streaming platform, Huya.

Sccc has also not enjoyed much success since leaving Newbee. He switched to being a carry player, but many considered his ability to be better in the mid laner position.

When he joined EHOME in September 2020, Sccc had indeed floated his intention to take a break from competitive Dota 2 tournaments. In addition, although the reasons behind his departure from EHOME are relatively unknown, the organization has stated that they “respect the wishes of players” and personal development needs. .

3. W33
2021 doesn’t seem to be on the W33’s side. After NIGMA’s poor performance at the ONE Esports Singapore Major, where they finished last, the European organization decided to part ways with it. Like the other two midlaners, w33 failed to carve out success with Nigma post TI9. On the other hand, their competitor Team Secret was successful for most of 2020.

W33 is currently still sitting as a Nigma roster with an inactive status and is allowed to take the option of moving to another team. With increasingly fierce competition and evaluation, W33 must improvise to play a role other than midlaner or wait for offers from top teams in other regions. The NA (North America) region can be a possible destination for him considering that his work with paiN Gaming and Digital Chaos is quite slick.

4. Viktor “GeneRaL” Nigrini
What happened in the NaVi camp became the most attention-grabbing news. After doing several roster reshuffle scenarios to appear at the Singapore Major, the CIS team then decided to resign. In the intermission, the organization then announced the joining of Ramzes. Not long after, the turmoil in the NaVi camp began with the decision to remove General from the active roster status. Although the veteran offlaner has been an integral part of the team since playing under the FlyToMoon banner. NaVi stated General separated from the team in April 2021 due to “internal problems and conflicts”.

Suddenly this decision invites a lot of reactions and curiosity. Naturally, when viewed in terms of performance and statistics, NaVi’s appearance throughout 2020 is quite impressive. After beating the top teams EU and CIS, GeneRaL and Na’Vi won OGA Dota PIT S4: Europe/CIS and finished as runners-up in ESL One Germany 2020 and CIS 2021 DPC Season 2: Upper Division. NaVi CEO Yevhen Zolotarov also gave a statement to reduce the growing speculation. While GeneRaL accepted the organization’s decision with disappointment because they had to find another team and play in DPC Season 2 before TI10.

5. Ppd
Ppd left the Sadboys roster after his team failed in the Upper Division DPC NA Season 1. Peter “ppd” Dager expressed his desire to focus more on streaming and casting and reduce the portion of competition. He then decided to retire in April 2020 and decided to return ahead of the start of the 2021 DPCC.

Now the TI5 title-winning Dota 2 legend is even more invited as a guest commentator.
