What makes you special? Don’t think too hard, just have fun with it.

[Patty Souza @Patty_Sza]

Voltando ao X só pra dizer que o fim inevitável da Heroic chegou.

- Tiraram quem não deveria
- Mantiveram quem deveria ter tirado
- Zombaram dos fãs
- Fizeram piada com o nosso cenário

Triste, mas avisamos!

Got us “off-guard”… it reminds me of something with a mid-laner… can’t think of it now, what could this be?

[kaffs @kaffurtado]

Disapointing news that got us off-guard, but I can't say I don't understand the reasons behind the decision. I am personally frustrated with the timing and wish things had been different, but I also understand that we are also to blame for things getting to this point.

On another note, HEROIC has been incredible to us during all this time we have been together, and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Quite a lot of amazing people working there and I'm glad I got to meet all of them.

Competing on tier 1 as a south-american team is rough, but even with the setbacks of missing some events, we have had our best season so far, with many 7/8th placements, two 5/6th, one 4th and a smaller tournament win on top of it.

We have also not shown our full potential, since the whole planning around the rough schedule was having enough in the tank for the long run and peak for the big events. This might not make a lot of sense to everyone reading this, but it is a very big deal, specially when you already start the season being exhausted from the last one. Having to travel back and forth between Europe and South America to play qualifiers is what makes it extra hard for us.

We have agreed as a group to stay together and hopefully show everyone what we can really do.

The future is uncertain but the objectives remain clear: qualify and perform on EWC and TI.

the greatest battle SA has ever seen is about to start

[Ivory_adr @ivory_adr]

@kaffurtado @4nalog [cont] gave everything for the team. Getting sucker punched like that is rough to watch.
That being said, just as @astinidota mentioned, I respect the decision — but my support will always, without question, be with 4nalog. Wherever he ends up, I know he’s gonna shine.#whatashame

[Ivory_adr @ivory_adr]

@kaffurtado I gotta be real here — I’m not confident in these decisions at all. Letting @4nalog go feels like a huge mistake, and honestly, the way it happened makes it even worse. It really looks like he didn’t see it coming, and that’s just a sick way to treat someone who [cont]

Sobre o Prêmio eSports Brasil 2025, categoria: "Melhor técnico". @premioesportsbr ⚠️

Antes de tudo: este post não é contra os técnicos indicados, todos eles desenvolveram um trabalho de excelência. A crítica é à organização, que ignorou dados oficiais e colocou em dúvida sua própria credibilidade, peço que considerem se colocar no lugar de Filipe Astini: Os números não deixam espaço para dúvidas.

Imagine você ganhar 3 campeonatos mundiais, ficar em 3º colocado na EWC e no The International, além de mostrar consistência quase todos os campeonatos tier S, obtendo reconhecimento mundial pelo seus resultados, mas em seu próprio país, o seu feito histórico é ignorado pela principal organização que faz a premiação de atletas nacionais.

O coach @astinidota está no topo isolado em premiação comparado aos demais, é completamente discrepante, seus feitos são absurdos e ele não foi nem citado entre os melhores.

[kaffs @kaffurtado]

We have made some really tough decisions in this shuffle window, and I have been struggling to find the right angle to go and discuss them in public. But with everything already announced, I'll try my best to do it properly.

The hard truth is that after doing considerably well in 2024, we had a really rough year in 2025, and our great result at TI14 doesn't overshadow that. We have been considering our next steps for a long time already.

What makes discussing it so hard is the fact that the people who got the short end of the stick are not only really good friends, but also very good professionals. And most importantly: they are not directly at fault for our struggles this year.  They gave everything they had to help putting us back on track, and without them, we wouldn't have finished the season on such a high.

A couple of months ago, @mangusupma and I had a conversation and decided that the best path for both of our careers was to split up after TI. I wasn't even sure what was going to happen to me, it just ended up being me staying in HEROIC and not him. This guy is really good at what he does, and we couldn’t have accomplished what we did without him. I'm really proud that we managed to put our differences aside and truly work together to bring the best version of our team into this TI.

Going forward with @4nalog was definitely a path we could have taken. There are many timelines out there where, in this very moment, we are planning our next season together. This guy has been consistently the best SA midlaner in recent years and has the mentality of a true champion.

Those two were crucial pieces to the success of our project, and I'm glad I was able to lift a trophy together with them. I can't recommend them enough, and I'm sure they will be very successful wherever they end up.

On another note, I'm really glad that we got @DavaiLama back. We had a really great time together last year, and I always felt like we had some unfinished business. Great player, great teammate, and great human being. I truly don't understand all the hate he gets sometimes. Also, he is rank 4 in europe right now, which is not an easy feat.

The idea of @Wisper_dota2 switching roles was mine. It's a risky move, but a calculated one. I believe Wisper is talented enough to play any core role with ease. He has been constantly playing mid in his pubs for a long time, already has the hero pool for it, and has really good laning skills. We really believe if there's a guy that can pull it off, it's him, and I'm sure it's worth the shot.

I will talk more about it in the future, but I'm really excited with this group going forward, and I believe that we have everything we need to achieve the goal of being a consistent team with good results throughout the whole season, and hopefully also get some tournament wins.

Once again, thanks for the trust.

[Filipe Astini @astinidota]

@kaffurtado Entendo. Respeito. Desejo todo sucesso a vocês e que levante muitos títulos pelo SA e continuem impulsionando o crescimento da região.

Dito isso, torcerei com todas minhas forças pro Analog a próxima vez que ele te enfrentar pro Dota Karma continuar balanceado.

[Ivory_adr @ivory_adr]

@kaffurtado Honestly feels like a really horrible call. The fact that 4nalog doesn’t seem to have been even expecting this makes it look like it came out of nowhere, and that doesn’t inspire much confidence about the direction the team is going. Hard to see this as the right move.

[Ivory_adr @ivory_adr]

@heroicbrasil @4nalog was the main reason I supported Heroic for the past few years, so it’s a pity to see him leave. I can’t say I’m happy with this decision, and I’m truly disappointed. Let’s see what comes next!

We dominated the region throught both qualifiers, and showed some really good Dota. And this is just the beginning, we wanna be the best SA team to have ever existed, win some tournaments, and show the region that working hard really pays off.
