Rumor: Team Yandex in talks with ATF

Team Yandex could be preparing a change in the offlane, with Ammar " ATF " Al-Assaf reportedly being considered as a replacement for Dmitry " DM " Dorokhin.

According to OFFSTAGE, the organization is in talks to sign ATF , while no other roster changes are currently expected. Neither Team Yandex nor Team Falcons have officially confirmed the move.

ATF could replace DM

If the transfer goes through, ATF would take over the offlane position currently occupied by DM .

The rest of Team Yandex 's Dota 2 roster is reportedly expected to remain unchanged. DM officially joined the organization in May 2026 after previously playing for the team as a stand-in.

DM was part of the lineup that continued Team Yandex 's rise during the 2026 season. At The International 2026, the team finished in third place, marking another strong result for the roster before reports of a possible change began to emerge.

ATF could leave Team Falcons after The International 2026

ATF currently represents Team Falcons , who finished 7th–8th at The International 2026.

Following the tournament, several reports suggested that the roster could undergo major changes. OFFSTAGE separately reported that ATF , Malr1ne , and Sneyking could leave the team, while Skiter may be the only player to remain from the current lineup.

For now, however, neither ATF 's departure from Team Falcons nor a move to Team Yandex has been officially announced.

Until either organization confirms the transfer, the situation remains a rumor.
