Other members of the multinational team include Daryl “iceiceice” Koh from Singapore, Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong from Thailand and Michael “ninjaboogie” Ross Jr. from the Philippines. This glorious win for them allows the team to qualify for The International Dota 2 tournament at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on August 20.
