Bleed Esports just snagged Rafli “Mikoto” Rahman and Wilson “Poloson” Koh for their Dota 2 lineup this season! Mikoto’s taking over Teng “Kordan” Yao’s spot in position 2 since Kordan hopped over to Team Secret. And guess what? Poloson’s sliding into the position 5 role, bumping Tommy “Taiga” Le out.
These duo are joining the crew alongside last season’s players – Souliya “Jackky” Khoompetsavong, Natthapon “Masaros” Ouanphakdee, and Djardiel “DJ” Mampusti. Obviously, this change was a long time coming, considering the team had a rollercoaster ride last year.
The Singaporean was struggling to hit top three in Dota 2 Pro Circuit SEA Division 1 Tour 1 and Tour 2 last year. After shaking things up, Bleed boys were finishing big in Tour 3, but things got rocky again at the Bali Major 2023.
Looks like the Mikoto-Topson duo is the secret sauce Coach Rasmus “Misery” Filipsen needs to kick Bleed’s performance up a notch this year. Mikoto’s been turning heads in the Dota scene, making waves in competitions like the Riyadh Masters and Lima Major while still repping Talon as a carry last year.
And don’t sleep on Poloson – he’s been around the block, playing with T1, Nigma Galaxy, Invictus Gaming, and Team SMG. The dude’s a solid support, clutch in those game-changing moments. They’re both making their debut in the SEA Open Qualifier for DreamLeague Season 22 today
