Eclypsia replaces Shakira

Eclypsia will be replacing Shakira in The Premier League Season 3. Team Shakira had a score of one loss and zero wins, and their score will be transferred to Eclypsia.

We have seen many teams pulling out of the tournament midway since The International and once again we witness the same trend in The Premier League Season 3. Team Shakira will be moving out of The Premier League Season 3 and they will be replaced by Team Eclypsia. Team Shakira's one loss and zero wins will be carried over to Team Eclypsia.

Eclypsia's inclusion in The Premier League means we can see Ivan “ArtStyle” Ivanov back in action with his new team.

Statement from Ivan “ArtStyle” Ivanov:

We are delighted to be given an opportunity to compete with all the great teams already in The Premier League. We hope to prove again to our fans we are at the top of Dota 2 and will do everything to make it count!

While Team Shakira's manager Fabien “Shiba” Turgis has released the following statement:

Following our recent availability issue. we can’t continue to play in the Premier League. We took an assumption at the start of the league that we could play in good condition with the TPL schedule, but some assumptions don’t come true and we must leave TPL Season 3 at the moment. We wish good luck to our replacement team and also thank the TPL administration (shoutout to Ange) for their patience with us during this season. We hope we’ll be ready to play TPL Season 4 with a full roster and more availability!”
