Rumour: Up to Four Team Falcons Players Could Depart Following The International 2026

The Team Falcons Dota 2 roster could be heading for significant changes in the aftermath of The International 2026, according to reports from Telegram insiders lilskrip and Pavuk_Lair. The organisation has yet to comment on any of the speculation.

Potential Departures

According to lilskrip , Oliver "skiter" Lepko, Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen, Jingjun "Sneyking" Wu, and head coach Curtis "Aui_2000" Ling could all be on their way out. If those departures materialise, Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak and Ammar "ATF" Assaf would be the only remaining members from the current lineup. The insider added that both Malr1ne and ATF could potentially move to Team Liquid , though this piece of information was flagged as unconfirmed. No official announcements regarding any of the mentioned players have been made by the organisation.

Adding a further layer of intrigue, Cr1t- himself appeared to hint following Falcons' elimination that The International 2026 may have been his final TI appearance — a suggestion that, if true, would mark the end of a lengthy and decorated career on the biggest stage in Dota 2.

Potential Arrivals

Insider Pavuk_Lair has suggested that Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov and Clement "Puppey" Ivanov could be among those joining Team Falcons as part of a rebuilt roster. No details regarding their potential roles or other prospective teammates have been shared, and there is no official confirmation of any negotiations or transfers at this stage. The information should be treated as speculative until the organisation makes a formal announcement.

Team Falcons finished The International 2026 in seventh to eighth place, having been eliminated from the lower bracket by Team Liquid in a 1:2 series defeat.
