The Russian organization Moscow Five will launch a new international roster for their DotA2 division, centered around the former captain of their main squad Vladimir 'PGG' Anosov. The team consists of PGG, sQreen, ZXC, Bignum and Neqroman.
With the conclusion of The International 4, several new teams were announced for the upcoming DotA2 tournament season. One of the most hyped roster was the Russian all-star team of Moscow Five, as the resurrection of the legendary Russian team also brought the return of former Russian veterans such as Ivan 'Vigoss' Shinkarev. However, the original roster did not last for long, as Sergey 'ARS-ART' Revin decided to retire and got replaced by Vladimir 'PGG' Anosov. Nevertheless, the squad's achievements were rather minor, and the internal turmoil caused by their mediocre performance forced the departure of PGG from the main squad.Today, the organization introduced a second DotA2 squad, and it seems they are no longer bound by their only-Russian rule. With PGG as the captain, the new roster is a re-launch of the former CIS team 'sQreen's Squad'.
