With extreme joy, we are happy to announce the new chapter to a book that we once closed, as we are returning to the Dota 2 scene with the acquisition of former Trademark-eSports.

In October last year, we sadly closed our Dota 2 division which saw some of the best players in the western hemisphere representing us in major events. Seven months later, we are thrilled to announce our return on this outstanding game that is Dota 2 with the acquisition of former Trademark-eSports. Consisting of experienced, motivated and talented players combined with the support from Quantic Gaming, we are convinced that they will be a force to be reckoned with in the future months.

The team that will be representing Quantic Gaming from now is led by Dan 'Danny D^' Woodhouse, a Heroes of Newerth veteran. He will be accompanied by Rene 'Kebap' Werner who, despite having good achievements on S2’s title, made a name for himself in DotA and its successor notably with mTw, a team with which he enjoyed success including a first place finish at DreamHack Summer 2012. The third player of the team is Egor 'Rikku' Ledovskikh, a 21-year-old Russian whose most notable success was with the Russian team of Lions Pride. The two remaining players from Sweden, are Sanel 'ArchiTigeR' Talic and Adam 'Trashh' Johansson who played in well-known Swedish teams including youBoat and Druidz. A sixth player will be in the team with Mike 'CarDinaL' Smith, a former SK-Gaming player in Heroes of Newerth. Sanel and Rene recently had a spell in Hontour under two Powerhouses notably The Fire Rises and One Trick Pony, before finding themselves in Dota 2 once again.

Team Captain Dan "Danny D^" Woodhouse had this to say about the move to Quantic;

"We are very grateful to be given this opportunity to be in Quantic and to prove ourselves to the organization and the world. I have the utmost great respect for Josh and Steven, from when Quantic had a Dota team in 2011-2012, we hope to live up to the name it was back then and hopefully succeed at greater lengths. We will be in the upcoming EIZO Cup,Rosh Pit QualifieR, 4pl Cups and EMS and DreamHack qualifier. I cannot wait to see how our team will perform together!"

Quantic's COO, Bernie "Fujikura" Catalan had this to say about the new addition to Quantic;

"We've been trying to find a way to re-enter the Dota2 scene. We've been doing that slowly with our guides and finally found a team that fits us well. Trademark esports comes highly recommended and I am excited to see how they develops as a team under our guidance."

Everyone here at Quantic Gaming are looking forward to the future of our new Dota 2 squad. Make sure you follow all of the players to keep updated for what's going on with the team.
