The International 2025 ended just yesterday, but instead of basking in the afterglow of the Dota 2 season, the pro scene has been thrown into complete chaos. With shocking disbands, betrayal-level roster moves, and whispers of retirements, TI14’s shuffle season might be the bloodiest we’ve seen in years. For fans hungry for Dota 2 upcoming matches and Dota 2 upcoming tournaments, the landscape of who’s even playing where has never been more uncertain.

Aurora: From Hope to Ashes

Aurora’s collapse didn’t just happen on stage—it started from within. Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov, two-time TI champion and one of the most respected Dota 2 pro players, broke the silence in the club’s vlog:

Did everyone believe in the team? It’s hard to say. More no than yes. Trust in each other was below average.

The message was clear: Aurora never had the mental cohesion to compete at TI14. Support player Nikita “Panto” Balaganin already confirmed that roster changes are inevitable, but Mira’s words sound far more like a farewell than a simple reshuffle. If Aurora disbands entirely, it won’t come as a shock—just the final nail in a coffin built from distrust.

For fans wondering how this affects Dota 2 pro teams going into the next season, Aurora’s spot in upcoming Dota tournaments is now up in the air.

BetBoom Team: From Contenders to Collapse

BetBoom’s TI14 run ended in the Top 4, but the real headlines came after. Insider leaks suggest the roster is on the verge of total disband, fueled by “very big disagreements” among players.

The situation around Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko turned into a circus:

Rumors linked him to a replacement by Andrey “bottega” Kopytko, a rising Dota pro player already under contract.
Korb3n called a Dyrachyo transfer “cool but a bad idea,” fueling speculation.
Then Timado dropped the bomb on stream: Pure allegedly already checked out of TI14 because he’s headed to Tundra Esports to play with 33.

If true, BetBoom didn’t just lose TI14—they lost their future before the tournament even ended. Fans expecting them in Dota 2 upcoming tournaments may instead witness a completely rebuilt roster or no roster at all.

Team Spirit: Dynasty Cracking at the Core?

Even Team Spirit, the face of Eastern European dominance, isn’t immune. RAMZES666 stirred the pot on stream, claiming Yatoro, Collapse, and Larl may all leave, with rising mid talent Mirele slotted as Larl’s replacement.

Manager Korb3n has already dropped hints, posting teasers that all but confirm incoming roster surgery. If Spirit’s legendary core splits, the dynasty that lifted multiple Aegises could vanish overnight. That would shake up not only Dota 2 pro matches next season but also the entire balance of power at every upcoming Dota tournament.

Ame: The Eternal Second Place?

Few stories hit harder than **Wang “Ame” Chunyu’**s. After another heartbreaking finals loss—this time with Xtreme Gaming against Team Falcons—rumors swirled that TI14 might have been Ame’s last Dota pro match.

Fans had dreamed of Ame finally lifting the Aegis, but with the loss, whispers of retirement have grown louder. Nothing is official yet, but the community already feels the sting of one of the greatest Dota 2 pro players potentially walking away.

Liquid in Trouble Too?

The West isn’t spared either. Insiders claim Michał “Nisha” Jankowski may leave Team Liquid or even go inactive entirely. If Nisha exits, fellow veteran Boxi could follow. For a squad that’s been a consistent powerhouse in Dota 2 pro matches, this could trigger a Western reshuffle of equal scale to CIS drama.

For fans looking toward Dota 2 upcoming tournaments, Liquid’s situation raises serious doubts about whether the roster can remain competitive.

What’s Next?

Post-TI14 is shaping up less like a shuffle and more like a scorched-earth reset. Aurora may disband. BetBoom may blow itself apart. Spirit might lose its crown jewels. Ame might retire. Nisha could step away.

And through it all, the only certainty is chaos—the kind of chaos that keeps Dota 2 pro teams battling for survival and makes every Dota 2 upcoming match a must-watch event.
