Team Tidebound recently shook up the Dota 2 scene by adding two veteran players, Zhang 'Bach' Ruida, also known as Faith_bian, and Cheng 'NothingToSay' Jin Xiang, to their roster. This move on Valve's team registration platform marks a significant shift in the team's dynamics.
Joining them are former LGD members Shiro, plAnet, and y`, creating a formidable lineup with a mix of experience and new talent. The combination of these players brings a fresh perspective to the team, aiming to make a mark in the upcoming tournaments.
After The International 2024, most of the players took a break from professional play, with Shiro and plAnet making an attempt to qualify for ESL One Bangkok 2024. However, their journey ended at the open stage, highlighting the competitive nature of the scene.
Prior to joining Tidebound, Bach was associated with Azure Ray, showcasing his skills on the battlefield. Meanwhile, NTS represented iG and even competed at TI13, bringing valuable experience to the team's dynamics.
Chalice, the former player, hinted at this lineup, hinting at a promising future for the team. Additionally, the squad will benefit from the coaching expertise of Zhang 'xiao8' Ning, adding a strategic edge to their gameplay.
Looking ahead, Tidebound is set to compete in the closed qualifier for PGL Wallachia Season 3 starting on January 12. The team's participation in upcoming tournaments like DreamLeague remains uncertain, with open qualifiers kicking off on January 3.
