ChuaN Joins Echo International

ChuaN joins Echo International to play alongside great players, such as Anathan “ana” Pham who previously played for OG at The International 7. In addition to Anathan “ana” Pham, ChuaN will team up with former offlaner from team Immortals Lee “Forev” Sang-don , former member of Digital Chaos on TI6 Martin “Saksa” Sazdov, and Grigoris “Keyser” Kallianiotis.

Besides joining, ChuaN was also registered on the same day. He was registered along with other players, such as Armel who had just joined the TNC Pro Team. Armel joined the TNC Pro Team to replace the 1437 position. His arrival made Kuku switch roles to support.

Echo International is ChuaN’s first team since he decided to take a break from competitive DotA 2. He decided to take a break after leaving the Vici Gaming squad in September 2021. He only played for five months with Vici Gaming. There’s not much he can do when he plays for Vici Gaming. ChuaN along with Vici Gaming only participated in the one and only DotA 2 LAN called Galaxy Battles. Even then they replace the role of LGD Gaming.

ChuaN’s teammates have different backgrounds from each other. Most of his team members had just left the previous squad. Ana is the most famous among the other colleagues. Together with OG he is a 2-time Major tournament title winner. Ana joining Echo International is the same as ChuaN, which is her first activity in competitive DotA 2 after she left OG voluntarily after being battered at the TI7 international tournament.

Then there is Lee “Forev” Sang-don who is a famous offlaner from the Immortals team. He left Immortals on December 30, 2021. He left the team because he was not suitable to play with his compatriots. There were no significant results achieved by Forev there. Even in his last tournament with Immortals, they were at the bottom of the rankings. His last tournament with Immortals was named AMD SAPPHIRE DotaPit League. The rest of them did not qualify for the regional qualifiers.

Then there is Martin “Saksa” Sazdov who was once in the Digital Chaos squad for The International 6. He himself last joined OpTic Gaming on November 28, 2021 and then left again on December 19, 2021. in replaces Misery. The result was decent, he won 2nd place at ROG MASTERS 2021 together with OpTic Gaming after being defeated by Team Empire with a score of 2:3 in the final.

ChuaN’s last partner at Echo International is Grigoris “Keyser” Kallianiotis. His last team before joining Echo International was Planet Dog. There is no evidence yet that makes him look like he has qualified skills like other teammates, except for a few 1st place wins in the DotA 2 MOBA Games minor tournament.

Many people do not dare to predict what this team will be like. Will it be a team fail or achieve a lot of achievements. However, this team has great potential to give a surprise because it is filled with many DotA 2 veterans who certainly have qualified skills.
