Statement by Tornado roX regarding the pick-up:
RoxKis originally had a Dota 2 team in 2013, despite smooth sailing in early 2013, the team faced a period of uncertainty after some of their players were implicated to have taken part in a betting fraud in their StarLadder game against zRage. As a result, Alexei 'Solo' Berezin was given a life time ban from Starladder and was later suspended from the team after admitting his involvment in the 322 drama, a few of Solo's teammates were handed three year bans and the RoxKis received a one year ban. The team's performance slowly declined after the event, leading to the their eventual disbanding.
