KS.int comfirms WG pickup

dota, jolie, ks.int, wg

In what was one of the biggest stories last week, Internationa- KS.International seemingly merged with Ukraine Wolker Gaming before the new season of Pick-League. The merger was not official though, as KingSurf's manager eryc denied any knowledge of it.

According to several sources Russian Fede- Smile and Russian Fede- Vigoss had decided to step down from competitive DotA, and the team thus needed some new blood. As the two former Virtus.Pro-players officially announced their inactivity two days ago, it was obvious that KS.Int would have to announce some new changes within a few days.

Now it has been confirmed that they pick up three of the former WG-players aswell as Azen. Here is what eryc had to say about the addition to the roster:

Malaysia KS`eryc: After some times of observation, we have decide to add Azen, GO[blin], Dendi and Axypa in Ks.int as replacement for our inactive players. This is a team full of ambition and desire to win everything, I hope the new Ks.int can brings more glory and exciting replays for Kingsurf Gaming.

NOTE:They are indeed in the transfer list sent by joliE to me, I only approached them on 31th Aug, and I never confirm anything before that.

The new KS.Int looks like this:

  • Russian Fede- Jolie
  • Russian Fede- Azen
  • Estonia Puppey
  • Ukraine Dendi
  • Ukraine Axypa
  • Ukraine Go[blin]

Just wondering, what happens to DkPhobos and Artstyle?

Vigoss stepping down is sad news to me, especially considering I have not seen him in regular action ever since Ks.int got banned from PDL, but oh well, life goes on, and things changes.

so is ks.int allowed to play in pride #11 ?
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

looks like a strong team, hopefully they can stay together long enough to get to the top and hopefully ARS-ART and vigoss will make a comeback sooner or later.

It's sad to see one of the greatest players in DotA to be inactive now. But hopefully, Vigoss can find his motivation back soon.

I have to be honest . I really don't think this team will be able to compete on the HIGHEST international level . Im sure they will do ok in whatever tournaments and leagues they enter , but I just don't see them going far in .. anything . I might be wrong though . But to me the only solid player in this lineup is Jolie , but one player alone can't do too much . And as for Ars-Art and Vigoss quitting ... that is just so incredibly sad . Especially since we were all expecting a huge comeback by ks.int to dominate once again . Had they just quit 6 months ago , atleast for me it would've been easier . Oh well

What, you live in a nutshill? Do you even know who Azen is? Dendi + Goblak = too much skill to put in a box! Puppey = pure skill, n nothing else ;), Selfless from Axypa (fail Chaos Knight sometimes), and JoliE's imba leadership! All the things a true team needs!

Azen is one of the best carry players in IHCS! Puppey can hold a lane/Jungle pretty well! Dendi is the vigoss of 6.52e! Goblak = Qop/Lesh/SF! Axypa is NS! & JoliE is Jolie!

They just need to establish some teamplay elements! & they can easily be where they once were!

Dendi isn't the vigoss of 52e rofl . Dendi is the Rotterdam of Dota

Oh well I'm little disappointing that vigoss and ars-art (smile) step down... This 2 are for me at least some of the greatest dota player in the world... Anyway hope jolie can bring the team up to the highest level... Good Luck...

i dont blame vigoss or ars. I would have probably done the same if i were them. After VP;s ban from pd 10 things just started going downhill. I dont think the new gamestyle would suit vigoss....i cant imagine him farming whole game like LoH, and since that is what everyone wants to do nowdays. PLus they cudn goto ESWC. Too many problems.

Gl to the two in whtever they do.

@ #17

are u dumb?! they have 3 very good solo players in jolie, AZEN and Go[blin].
so that wont be any problem. i'm more worried about their teamplay. does it exist? will it get good enough for upcomming tournamnets? how long will vigoss/smile be gone, and will they kick out the "wg" players when they come back(?)? seems to me that ks.int/VP change their lineup way to often to be one of the really best atm.

But gl to u guys! (L)

/MEOW

I guess I didn't make my point quite clear . I never meant to put the team or players down in any way . They are all good dota players and they've proven themselves repeatedly . And it was a bad way of putting it by saying "only solid player". I only did that cause I was talking about the absoulutely highest international level , worldclass . And the only player left on that level is Jolie . If the team did not perform up to par with their expectations (which was indeed to be the very best team in the world) when they had 2 legendary players like Vigoss and Ars-Art , replacing them with lesser , yet still good players will most likely not help improve the team . And as you say , they still need to play alot together in order to acquire team play . Ans so I stand by my statement that this team most likely will never achieve any major titles in the world of dota . (LOL BTW IM A HUGE FAN OF U AND UR TEAM U ROX !! :D:D: <33)
