Two of the most well-known CIS Dota players, Vigoss and Axypa, have returned to competitive Dota together with a group of relative newcomers in the newly created SQreen's Squad.
Following Axypa's exit from Na'Vi in 2011, not many have seen or heard of him outside of public games. Vigoss, however, has attempted several times to return to his legendary form in Dota 2. His attempts have so far been unsuccessful, as his M5 team who attended TI2 exited the tournament in 16th place, and his brief stint with Empire earlier in 2013 was also one without much glamour.
If experience will carry the team, which also features former Osilk Gaming offlaner Maxim 'TpoH' Vernikov, we will see, but for now the two old schoolers will be surrounded by new, young talent the CIS region always seems to be producing more of.
The team's initial goal will be to participate in online tournaments, in particular the Bigpoint Battle tournament series, which team captain Khaled 'sQreen' El-Khabbash has claimed in a recent quote to be the main reason he gathered the players underneath the same banner.
