BetBoom Team decided to make an interesting roster change just a few days prior to the first big Dota 2 tournaments. The team will part ways Roman “rmN-” Paley, who used to be the head coach. Instead of him, the squad welcomed Anatoly “boolk” Ivanov.
Boolk is in, rmN- is out
According to a statement from BetBoom, the team decided to experiment with the way it plays. Instead of using Boolk, the squad relied on rmN- as its coach and focused on Save- as the in-game leader and captain. Even though the team has had some success, overall, it has become clear that this is not working. That is the main reason why the squad decided to bring back Boolk as the team’s coach.
Following this announcement, rmN- will most likely try to find a new team to be a part of. The 32-year-old German and Russian player has been a parto of the professional Dota 2 scene for years, but he retired from playing in 2024. Aside from coaching BetBoom Team, rmN- was also a part of Team Liquid and Nigma Galaxy. In fact, he even had to play for NGX for a few weeks back in 2024.
As for Boolk, he was an active player for two years only and decided to focus on coaching. Throughout his career, Boolk has been a part of numerous squads, including Gambit and Virtus.Pro, EXTREMUM and BetBoom Team. He joined the latter in 2022 and has been a key part of its success over the last 3 years.
What is Next for BetBoom Team?
After this important strategic move, BetBoom Team will have to prepare for the upcoming FISSURE Universe: Episode 8. The tournament will begin shortly and BB Team is among the main favorites, so we’ll kee a close eye on their performance.
