Who is Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin of 'Dota 2' and His B8 Active Roster Issue?

Danil Ishutin, well-known as Dendi, is a professional "Dota 2" eSports player. He became popular after starting playing with the Ukrainian esports powerhouse Natus Vincere (NaVi).

However, he left his team back in September 2018. He decided to play for other "Dota 2" teams, such as the Southeast Asian eSports group called TNC Tigers.

But, he suddenly became inactive after becoming an official free agent in August 2021, as reported by One Esports. Although this is the case, his presence is still in the popular "Dota 2" international tournaments.

Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin's Recent Activities

Before he went inactive, he attended the "Dota 2" TI9. But, instead of playing in one of the participating teams, he was only there as an analyst.

Then, he had an interview with b2ru. During their talk, he revealed his plan of creating his own "Dota 2" organization. Dendi even said that he doesn't mind stopping as a mid-lane player just to make his plan a reality.

"I want to build a team, whatever it takes, so I am ready to switch for that. But I want to do something, show my strength, treat someone to a knuckle sandwich in-game," said the popular "Dota 2" player.

Thanks to his efforts, he was able to form the new B8 team. This "Dota 2" team already has had an active roster ever since 2020.

However, Dot Esports reported that a big change has been made in B8's active "Dota 2" roster.

Dendi no Longer in B8's Active Roster?

The latest move made by B8 is to remove Dendi from its active roster. Based on the updated registry, Aleksandr "Nofear" Churochkin, a former B8 player and CIS veteran, kicked out Danil from the team.

This is because Nofear is the captain of XactJlepbI, another "Dota 2" team that merged with B8. "Dota 2" critics explained that the move has to be made because XactJlepbI is the one that registered B8 in the upcoming Valve Dota Pro Circuit 2022.

Because of this, Dendi shared his opinion regarding Valve's ruling on the "Dota 2" league spot ownership rule, as reported by AFK Gaming.

"I'd like to understand the reason why Valve allowed us to do this. Because I can really see that if this goes on, sooner or later there will be fewer and fewer tournaments," said Dendi.
