The new Dota Pro Circuit 2019-2020 season is close to its beginning. The off-season has passed, and the teams are already ready for the first battles for DPC points, which will allow them to get to The International in 2020 in Stockholm.

Reshuffles after the International 2019 gave to a fan of Kazakhstan DotA hope, since, compared to last year, there are much more players from our country. We bring to your attention players from Kazakhstan, which will be interesting to watch at the next qualifiers:

1. Danial xsVamp1Re Alibayev – Gambit Esports

On the professional stage, Danial first appeared in Se7en Esports in early 2019, when the team got to the closed qualifiers for The Chongqing Major. Once there, the team abruptly refused to participate in the qualifiers, choosing to participate in the Russian Cup. But after a while, Danial moved to the Pango camp on loan, where he performed with Aibek Naive-Tokayev. There were no significant results during the performance in both teams.
This season, xsVamp1Re will be part of Gambit Esports under the leadership of the famous captain in the CIS - Artsiom Fng Barshak. Gambit Esports already showed a good result before the qualifiers – the team won at GG.BET Hamburg Invitational, earning a slot on ESL One Hamburg 2019 without losing a single card.

2. Aibek Naive-Tokaev, Team Unique

Aibek became famous on the professional stage in the middle of 2018, starting to play for Team Empire. Before Team Empire Naive, he defended Team Kazakhstan at WESG and defended the honor of the NiceOne team with the same squad. Having consistently performed at the EPICENTER XL in Moscow for Empire, Aibek inspired the hope of fans, and everyone considered his team the favorite of the closed CIS qualifiers for The International 2018, but he did not get to the main tournament.
Despite the poor balance of Affairs and vague performances for The Pango, Aibek does not give up. In the new season, he will play for Team Unique, where players with high potential play with him. And the first test for his team will be open qualifications for the MDL Chengdu Major.

3. Nairman Hannah Zhakitzhanov – Wind and Rain

The surprise of this off-season for Kazakhstan's eSports was the news that former Se7en Esports mid-player Nairman Hannah Zhakitzhanov entered the roster of the European team Wind and Rain, which has already received a slot in the closed qualifiers for the upcoming major. Nairman played his first matches for the new team as part of the ESL One Hamburg qualifiers, but the qualifiers were unfortunately lost.

In the new international line-up, Wind and Rain Hannah will perform with Nefrit, Buugi, Niqua and yol.

It is worth noting that at this moment the Kazakh teams Nomad Warriors and the best Cyber Dogs in the country are also undergoing open qualifications for the first major of the season.

We can confidently say that Kazakhstan is ready for the new season of the Dota 2 professional scene.
