Nightfall renames himself as Saika. This is his third nickname
2024-07-30 09:49:00BetBoom Team carry Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko has changed his nickname. He will now compete in professional Dota 2 as Saika. This information appeared on the official Valve's team registration website.
Perhaps the carry's new nickname is a reference to the anime My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected. There is an androgynous-looking character named Saika Totsuka, who is called "The Prince" by his female classmates. Another version is that Nightfall's new nickname is inspired by Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles, which has a song of the same name.
This is Egor's third nickname. He started his career as epileptick1d and switched to Nightfall in 2021. Recently, Team Spirit's carry Illya "Yatoro" Mularchuk decided to play under the nickname Raddan. He said he was inspired by Elden Ring, and it's also an abbreviation for "Rain all day, Dota all night."
BetBoom's next tournament is The International 2024, scheduled for September. However, according to their manager, Lukawa, they will participate in an online tournament before TI13. That's why the team withdrew from Elite League S2. Most likely, the event will be announced soon.
