Level UP Dota 2 Roster Update: Nikobaby and DuBu Depart After EPL Struggles

Significant changes have occurred within the Level UP Dota 2 roster. Nikolay “Nikobaby” Nikolov and Du Yong “DuBu” Kim have left the team.

Both players represented Level UP in four matches during European Pro League Season 26. The team`s performance was challenging, as they managed to win only two maps out of ten played, losing every series and consequently eliminating their chances of advancing to the tournament playoffs.

Filling the vacant spots in the starting lineup are Denis “Rincyq” Bogushev and Hamid “jesv” Gammadov.

Nikobaby had previously been inactive in the competitive Dota 2 scene since the end of 2022, at which point he announced his retirement. His plans regarding seeking a new team are currently unknown.
