Towards the conclusion of the Swiss Stage of the Elite League, Aurora, a Serbian esports organization with headquarters in Malaysia and a roster of Dota 2 players primarily from Southeast Asia, is compelled to make a change. 

On 4th April, 2024, earlier today, Aurora revealed that 16-year-old prodigy Alan "Satanic" Galyamov, also known as Butterfly, will fill in as the organization's carry while Nuengnara "23savage" Teeramahanon returns to Thailand. Galyamov is a Yellow Submarine.

Aurora joked that 23savage was returning to Thailand since he had left his Pokemon cards back home in this public declaration on X.

Given that Aurora's Dota 2 squad is currently in a pivotal point in the game, supporters and members of the community were shocked by the team's sudden lineup change during the current Elite League.

After victories over Virtus.pro and KEV and defeats to Nigma Galaxy and HEROIC, Aurora's current standings are 2-2. 

With this match, the team will either advance to the next round of the tournament or be eliminated. It is currently scheduled to play Team Secret.

Aurora changed their squad just before this crucial match; Satanic took 23savage's place, who has returned to Thailand and may join the team on 6th March  if they advance to the Elite League's next round.

Positively, Satanic is not your typical 16-year-old. After holding the top spot for a while, he is presently rated fourth in the Dota 2 European Leaderboards. That also lends credence to Satanic's accomplishment as a very good and proficient Dota 2 player. 

Still, Satanic may struggle from inexperience despite having the opportunity to demonstrate his abilities on his own without any experience playing with a top-tier Dota 2 squad.

Despite being a member of Yellow Submarine, Satanic's performance is not highly known because the team primarily participates in the tier three Dota 2 scene, which is not widely watched or followed.
