Heroic has made the difficult decision to bench their Dota 2 player, David "Parker" Nicho Flores, due to a lack of motivation to secure victories, as reported in the official announcement. The organization cited internal disputes as the cause behind this unfortunate move.
The decision to bench Parker came in the aftermath of their defeat to beastcoast, with a score of 2:3, in the final of the ESL One Bangkok 2024 qualifier. Heroic emphasized that this particular incident was not an isolated case, highlighting a series of prior inappropriate actions by the young carry.
As of now, Heroic has yet to designate a replacement for Parker. The team is gearing up to participate in the upcoming BLAST Slam #1, where they will be accompanied by Yuma "Yuma" Langlet as a stand-in. Langlet, known for his current involvement with the ex-Nouns stack named Atlantic City, will temporarily fill the carry position for Heroic.
