Ahead of the upcoming DPC 2023 Spring Tour, Bleed Esports sign Daryl "iceiceice" Koh and Djardel "DJ" Mampusti.
Easily, two of the most popular Dota 2 players in the SEA have found a new banner to compete under for the next DPC season.
In their inaugural DPC season, Bleed took a disappointing sixth-place finish in the league play, narrowly missing relegation into Division II for the following season.
Having kept their space in Division I, the organization decided changes were necessary for improvements in the Spring Tour.
Two weeks ago Bleed released two players, Natthaphon "Masaros" Ouanphakdee and Prieme "PlayHard" Banquil. Fans were eager to see who the replacements would be.
Just over four months ago Team SMG parted ways with Daryl "iceiceice" Koh after completely missing the team registration deadline and not competing in the TI11 SEA qualifiers. The famed Singaporean player was without a team from them until now.
Three weeks ago, Fnatic announced they were pulling the plug on their Dota 2 division, releasing all of the players including Djardel "DJ" Mampusti who had been with the organization since 2017.
