BOOM Esports Unveils New All-Peruvian Dota 2 Roster for 2024 Season
Indonesian Esports organization, BOOM Esports, has revealed its revamped Dota 2 roster for the upcoming 2024 season. After refocusing its efforts in the South American region, the organization has presented an exciting lineup featuring exclusively Peruvian talent while retaining its prominent carry player.
Meet the New Roster Members
Besides retaining the skillful carry player Crhistian “Pakazs” Savina, BOOM Esports has welcomed three new players and a top-tier coach to its Dota 2 roster. The additions include:
- Mario “LittleBoy” Valdivia (Offlaner) – Formerly part of the now-disbanded Thunder Awaken
- Rodrigo “n1ght” Cruz (Support) – Ex-Thunder Awaken teammate
- Jose “Panda” Padilla (Support) – Previously played for Evil Geniuses
These new players bring impressive skill sets and valuable experiences that can significantly enhance BOOM Esports’ gameplay in Dota 2, proposing a highly competitive edge for the team.
BOOM Esports has also enlisted a seasoned coach, Juan David “Vintage” Angulo Nicho. He coached Evil Geniuses at the International 2023 and Wawitas Sagazes at the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.

Deliberate Selections and Team Strategy
BOOM Esports’ decision to create an all-Peruvian team indicates a well-thought-out strategy, tailored to optimize team synergy and performance in the competitive South American scene. The organization recognizes the immense potential and prowess of these Peruvian players, highlighting their proven track record in prior engagements.
The Midlaner Mystery
Intriguingly, the roster currently lacks a midlaner – a crucial position in Dota 2. However, BOOM Esports CEO Gary Ongko revealed in a podcast on X that their participation in the upcoming January 2024 tournament would feature a trial player in this slot. He stated, “It’s more like a trial, so he’s not officially part of the team yet. It depends on whether he wants to sign.” This approach reflects BOOM Esports’ dedication to finding the perfect fit for the midlaner role.
We’ve got back up. Stronger than ever!
Bienvenidos:
🇵🇪 Jose "Panda" Padilla: Pos 5 🩺
🇵🇪 Juan David "Vintage" Angulo Nicho: Head Coach 🧠The pieces are coming altogether 💪

Implications for the Future
This drastic change in BOOM Esports’ Dota 2 roster presents an opportunity for the organization to solidify its presence in the South American gaming scene. Securing skilled players with proven abilities and cohesive national backgrounds will undoubtedly boost teamwork and bolster the team’s brand image.
Additionally, fans and rivals alike can expect BOOM Esports to bring their A-game in upcoming tournaments, potentially giving them the competitive edge in the Dota 2 landscape. With a trial midlaner in the mix, the future of BOOM Esports’ Dota 2 roster remains a matter of great intrigue.
As the 2024 season rapidly approaches, the refreshed and highly skilled roster of BOOM Esports stands poised to face whatever challenges Dota 2 has to offer.
