Dreamz no longer active, Dota 2 team renamed Ledion Dota 2

A post made earlier today on the Dreamz Ledion Facebook page stated that Dreamz Dota is no longer active. Here is the screenshot of the Facebook post:

Although the Facebook post suggests that eSports has no longer become a sustainable source of income, owner and manager of the team Justin ‘Big Dog J’ Alm says that it is not the case.

We got in touch with Big Dog J who confirmed to us that Dreamz is no longer active. It isn’t because of the teams’ performance or any sort of decline of the Philippine eSports scene. Rather, he explained that Dreamz is now inactive because his new line of work requires him to work 13 hours a day for 6 days a week. The hectic schedule left him little to no time for Dreamz. He did mention, however, that he does have intentions of reviving Dreamz in the future.

What becomes of the Dreamz Dota 2 team after this then? After all, they still have several matches to participate in. According to Big Dog J, the closure of Dreamz does not mean that the team will cease activity as well. That is why he made sure that his players have a new home. The previous Dreamz Dota 2 team will continue to play as Ledion Dota 2.

While the team has yet to win another title after the MSI Beat It competition, it has been showing great potential especially during the GMPGL SEA Grand Finals where they put up a fight against the Malaysian powerhouse Team Titan albeit losing in the end.

Losing another team would not be beneficial to the SEA competitive Dota 2 scene. Compared to the Western and Chinese scene, the SEA Dota 2 scene has been dwindling in terms of tournaments and number of high tier teams from the region. This is particularly true after The International 2013 when the great Chinese reshuffle caused the departure of two of SEA’s star players Chai Yee ‘Mushi’ Fung from Malaysia and Daryl ‘iceiceice’ Koh from Singapore.
