“In Dota 2 we are currently building a highly competitive roster and will participate in the new open circuit from 2024. Heroic will bring flair and fresh energy to Dota 2, with the goal of shaking things up and building storylines that carry through the year, not only focusing on TI”.

Apparently the news went under the radar despite this became known a month ago. The news regarding the lineup will be revealed after Heroic announce their Fortnite player, which is gonna be today.

    They would need to have a $1M USD investment just to get started if they want to be competitive with no guarantee on return on investment. This is the bare minimum to have a salaried roster with manager and coach. Unless they are taking over an existing team it seems like a long shot competition-wise.

    They would need genuine star players to get invited to LAN or win open qualifiers.

    I just dont know why they would jump into the scene unless they have several insiders or people in the scene that have been helping them recruit and sign player/personnel since well before TI.
