Let's focus on alberkaaa first. Albert "alberkaaa" Chernoivanov, a rising star in Dota 2 esports, won the M.Game Core Cup championship with VP.Prodigy, where he played for 4 months.
Andrei "meLes" Romanov, who previously played for Gambit, rejoins the roster. He played for PuckChamp for nearly a year. There he won EPIC League Season 3 Division 2 and ESL One CIS Online Season 1: Lower Division titles. Unfortunately with Gambit, he did not win any championships.
Belarusian Sergey "HappyDyurara" Horonzhiy is another player we’ll be focusing on. Although the newly joined support player has achieved many successes in Tier 2 and 3 tournaments, it is yet to be seen if he can be successful in bigger tournaments with AS Monaco Gambit.
