Quest Esports, the rising Dota 2 team in Western Europe (WEU), has announced significant roster changes as they gear up for the highly anticipated Riyadh Masters 2023.

Quest Esports Makes Roster Changes Ahead of Riyadh Masters 2023

The decision to bring in Malik has raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike. With limited time to establish chemistry within the team, Quest Esports faces the challenge of integrating their new player quickly. However, the talented Malik is expected to adapt well to the team's playstyle and contribute positively to their performance in the tournament.

ATF's departure from Quest Esports has added another layer of intrigue to the team's roster changes. Despite leading the team to an impressive Top 4 finish at the Bali Major 2023, ATF's departure was a result of contractual disputes with the organization. The Dota 2 community speculated on the reasons behind his exit, including potential issues with Nigma Galaxy, but ATF confirmed that it was an unfavorable contract from Quest Esports that led to his departure.

With the Riyadh Masters 2023 just around the corner, Quest Esports finds itself in a situation of anticipation and uncertainty. The addition of Malik brings hope for the team's success, while the departure of ATF leaves a void that needs to be addressed. The team will need to quickly establish synergy and adapt to Malik's playstyle to make a mark in the tournament.

The full roster for Quest Esports at the Riyadh Masters includes Aybek "TA2000" Tokayev, Tony "No!ob" Assaf, Abdimalik "Malik" Sailau, Omar "OmaR" Moughrabi, and Oleh "kaori" Medvedok. This lineup reflects the team's determination to showcase their capabilities on the grand stage once again and prove their mettle against tough competition.
