The most surprising team at Dota Pit League Season 5
Elements Pro Gaming luckily got to Dota Pit League Season 5 due to Wings visa issues. Hosts decided to make a substitution with Balkan team, maybe because the tournament takes place in Croatia. EPG looks like an underdog compared to OG, Evil Geniuses and Digital Chaos. But we know what underdogs are capable of.
Elements Pro Gaming – Russian team with Serbian-Croatian roster.
Earlier Elements Pro Gaming was a complete CIS team. Victor «GeneRaL» Nigrini, Ilya «Illidan» Pivtsaev, Rinat «KingR» Abdullin – these are all ex-EPG players. However in 2016 team decided to move to easter europe and deal with Balkan players. Gordan «g0g1» Proshic, Konstantin «Kole» Jancetovic, Nikola «LeBronDota» Popovic and Uros «Swiftending» Galic are from Serbia, Damir «Mitch» Skaricic is a Croatian.
Gordan «g0g1» Proshic and Damir «Mitch» Skarcic have been playing together for 8 years already. Gordan is the oldest player on the team – 28 years old. The youngest one is Uros «Swiftending» Galic.
Gordan «g0g1» Proshic outplayed legendary Na’Vi
Yeah, that Na’Vi you’re thinking about. This happened on ESWC 2011, when Gordan played for Team GamersLeague. He celebrated his victory over Puppey and co with a redoubtable balkanian roar.
– He screams just like TaZ, – said the caster.
Uros «Swiftending» Galic – Top 1 Slark at Dotabuff Uros is considered a Slark grandmaster. Not only Dotabuff proves it, but pro players also assume this. Even EternalEnvy was excited with this serbian Slark. Moreover, another amazing Slark-performer is going to participate at this tournament Roman «Resolut1on» Fominok. It would be interesting to see, who’s better on this hero. No doubt this hero is going to be picked, Slark suits to current meta well.
Elements almost beat OG on the qualifiers.
If Elements had been more lucky they could qualify for Dota Pit League Season 5 earlier. EPG were able to make OG sweat, neverless they lost with a score 2:3. So don’t consider them freebie hunters. They deserve their chance to participate in this tournament. Luck was on their side, when Wings rejected their participations after the qualifiers.
LeBronDota used to play basketball.
Nikola «LeBronDota» Popovic in his youth was addicted to basketball. Guess his favourite basketball player (check out his nickname). Besides, one of Gordan «g0g1» Proshic previous nicknames was BadrHari [Badr Hari – moroccan kickboxer]. That makes his victory roar after victory over Na’Vi even more scary.

Elements are going to face Virtus.Prо in the first game of the tournament.
Despite unstable plays from «bears», thay can deal with any team, if they are in a good mood. Battle against Virtus.Prо is a serious challenge for lads from Elements Pro Gaming. «Bears» aren’t going to be frightened of Goran’s battle cry, that’s because VP have a carry, who is able to intimidate any oppopent. Can EPG stand against Roman «The Beast»? We shall see in the morning.
