MinD_ContRoL joins Shopify Rebellion after a three-month suspension
It has been three months since the MinD_ContRoL - Tundra Esports controversy took place. In the midst of an ongoing DreamLeague Season 22, MinD_ContRoL left Tundra Esports with an LFT announcement, claiming he has been kicked. It turned out that there was an internal conflict between the players and this resulted in his indefinite suspension.
Three months later, MinD_ContRoL officially makes his exit from the Western European organization. He joins the notable Shopify Rebellion crew, merging forces with Dota 2 veteran Arteezy. He will also be joining Southeast Asian players of known caliber, Yopaj and skem. MinD_ContRoL is filling in the void left by SabeRLight, who recently departed due to lack of chemistry among the team.
