Of course, NaVi had something to say about this, since they still have a contract with Dendi. Thus, he’s a stand-in for Tigers, but if he wishes to sign with Tigers, the team will oblige.

Dendi is to Dota 2 what Daigo is to the Street Fighter series: a legend in the solo/mid/captain role. He and his team NaVi has won and continued to dominate Dota 2 since The International 2011.

Other members of Tigers roster include 1437, Musi, Moonmander, and Xepher. Will Tigers be the Asian Dota 2 superteam fans have been waiting for? Discuss.
