Mineski Dota 2 Acquires Ninjaboogie
By Kurt “KingKunta” Lozano
A familiar face returns to the Mineski.Sports5 Dota 2 squad as Michael “Ninjaboogie” Ross moves in as the team’s official 6th man.
Mineski announced that Ninjaboogie will be leaving Team Rave, where he played on the carry role, to play as Mineski’s substitute on the support role ahead of the finals for this year’s Mineski Pro-Gaming League (MPGL).
After crashing out of the SEA Qualifiers for The International 2016, Mineski was expected to make some changes to their lineup after being edged out of the chance to compete in Seattle by fellow Pinoy teams Execration and TnC Gaming.
A seasoned veteran of the Pinoy Dota 2 scene, Ninjaboogie was part of Mineski’s lineup back in 2009, where he played under the tag ‘Vigass’, a tribute to Russian Dota 1 legend Ivan ‘Vigoss’ Shinkarev.
Singaporean superstar Galvin Kang ‘Meracle’ Jian Wen has also been spotted as a stand-in for Mineski in their matches for the Mr. Cat Invitational, hinting at the possibility of him being a potential pick-up as Mineski is seemingly looking to rebuild its roster.
