Team Yandex will compete at PGL Wallachia Season 7 with a stand-in after offlaner Noticed failed to secure a visa for Romania. As a result, the organization confirmed that Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin will temporarily join the roster for the upcoming Dota 2 tournament.
This marks the third case of visa issues affecting players ahead of the event, highlighting the travel difficulties some competitors are facing before the competition begins.
Why DM Will Stand In for Team Yandex at PGL Wallachia Season 7
Team Yandex had a strong start to 2026 and many expected the team to perform well at DreamLeague Season 28. Sadly, the team failed to live up to expectations and will now try its luck at PGL Wallachia Season 7. The only problem is that it won’t be able to rely on Noticed because the Russian star did not get a visa.
Similar to Tundra Esports and Aurora Gaming, Team Yandex will also have to rely on a stand-in, so the squad decided to add DM. According to the organization’s statement, “Zhenya will miss the tournament and DM will replace him. We will play the games at the PGL Wallachia Season 7 with him. Thanks to him and the PARIVISION organization for their promptness and support.”
Speaking of PARIVISION, DM is currently a reserve player for the organization. In fact, his last big Dota 2 tournament was in January 2026, when he played in the BLAST Slam VI EU Closed Qualifier.
Team Yandex Roster for PGL Wallachia Season 7
Here is what Team Yandex’s roster will look like for the upcoming PGL Wallachia Season 7:
- Alimzhan “watson” Islamkebov
- Ilya “Chira JUNIOR” Khirtsov
- Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin
- Martin “Saksa” Sazdov
- Arman “Malady” Orazbayev
PGL Wallachia Season 7 is set to begin on March 7, and it will feature many of the best Dota 2 teams in the world. Team Yandex is definitely one of the squads that deserves attention, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on it.
