Balkan Bears Corleone joins Invasion in the list of teams who have changed their rosters after not recieving a TI qualifier invite, the team will be continuing without Omar 'w33' Aliwi and Ahmed 'Levi' AlRayes.
In a short but informative post on their Facebook page, Balkan Bears Corleone have released plans for their roster following their failure to get a TI5 invite, both Omar 'w33' Aliwi and Ahmed 'Levi' Al Rayes have parted with the team, the players have played for the team for two months (w33) and a year (Levi). Worth mentioning is that w33 was also a central part of the team prior to that before he left to join Meepwn'd. They played the offlane and support role respectively and were presumably kicked by a team vote.
The future plans of the two now teamless players were also touched by the announcement, Omar 'w33' Aliwi is said to be taking a break from the competitive scene until the conclusion of TI5, it is highly possible that he will try to find a team during the team reshuffles that happens after TIs. As for Ahemd 'Levi' Al Rayes, it is said that he will most likely become a free agent.
Statement by Balkan Bears Corleone:
'Hey Guys,
Unfortunately, our Dota 2 Team decided that they need a fresh start. Therefore, they will take some time off to decide what will be the formula they will continue to play in.
As a result to this decision, Omar “w33″ Aliwi decided that he will take some time off from competitive until after TI5. And Ahmed "Levi" AlRayes will most probably become a free agent.
We are very sad to be communicating these to you, but it was the majority`s decision and it was needed. We will still play the tournaments we are signed in.
Stay tuned for more updates on this topic.'
This news comes in light of BBC's failure to secure themselves a Ti5 qualifier invite after producing inconsistent results and leading up the to qualifier invites being given out as well as having a few player changes. Invasion eSports have also carried out roster changes after facing a similar situation. Worth pointing out is that BBC managed to qualify for MLG Pro League but were only able to secure fifth place which also was their biggest achievement of the year. Their recent performance have also reflected their weak form, with them losing games to two arguably less renowned, Moscow5 (0-2) and SCARYFACEZZZ (0-2).
