Breaking story: Dj Leaves Fnatic
Just days after making Top 4 at The International 6, Filipino Dota 2 star Djardel “Dj” Mampusti has reportedly left Fnatic.
With the new roster lock schedule mandating that teams finalize roster removals on or before Sept. 4, 2016 for the Fall Major, it seems that Dj has left the venerated esports org led by legendary Malaysian carry player Chai “Mushi” Yee Fung.
Sources close to the story have confirmed that Dj is on his way back to the Philippines. Whether this means that the star support will be playing in a Filipino Dota 2 team for the 2016 Fall Majors later this year is still up for speculation.
Dj made a name for himself as the carry player on Team Rave, the Filipino team that made a deep-run in international tilts in 2014 by training in Korea. In 2015, Dj was recruited by Fnatic, where he was instrumental in the team’s highly successful Majors run, culminating in three Top 6 finishes. At The International, Fnatic finished Top 4, earning $1,453,932 or P68 million in prizes.
