Night Pulse Accuses OG of Poaching Players

Night Pulse, a Serbian organization for Dota 2, has accused OG, another organization in the industry, of poaching two of its players, Cedric “Davai Lama” Deckmyn and Ivan “Kidaro” Bondarev. These accusations were made public in a recent post on Telegram. Night Pulse claims that these two players had verbally agreed to become part of their team, but they were approached by OG before anything was made official.

Deckmyn and Bondarev were part of Night Pulse as stand-ins from January 15 to March 25, but they never officially signed any documents that would have listed them as players for the organization. This is why Night Pulse sees OG’s actions as a violation. This incident has disrupted the team-building efforts of Night Pulse, considering they had already put significant time and resources into those two players, only for them to turn towards another organization.

Player Transfers and Contract Ethics

This incident brings up an ongoing issue in the professional Dota 2 scene: player transfers and contract ethics. The matter often revolves around the context of players being approached by new teams or organizations before officially committing to their current ones. This raises questions about what is considered proper conduct when recruiting players for teams in the professional scene.

OG has yet to publicly respond to the accusations made by Night Pulse. It’s a significant topic in the industry, considering OG is a high-profile team in Dota 2 and any allegations like this made against them would be widely discussed by the community.

Night Pulse’s Tournament Participation

These incidents occur against the backdrop of Night Pulse’s participation in recent Dota 2 tournaments. They have been active players in tournaments such as the PGL Wallachia Season 4 and the FISSURE Universe: Episode 4 Group Stage. Night Pulse delivered strong performances during these tournaments, underlining their aspiration to grow as an organization and compete at a higher level.

These tournaments are testament to Night Pulse’s commitment to the game and their resolve to further establish themselves in the Dota 2 competitive scene. The loss of key players like Deckmyn and Bondarev, who were being groomed to contribute significantly to the team’s potential growth, likely adds to Night Pulse’s disappointment and frustration.
