Tundra signs ex- OG player Saksa: Today, the London-based esports organization Tundra has announced it’s brand new Dota 2 player: North Macedonian Martin “Saksa” Sazdov (pictured).
Saksa’s arrival is the finalization of Tundra’s Dota 2 roster after departing from Adrian “Fata” Trinks.
This German player was exiled from the team last week because Tundra tried to ensure “the highest level of chemistry for our team to perform better this season.”
As Fata was captain of the team, Tundra had changed Jingjun “Sneyking” Wu to position five and had given him team captain moving forward.
Before his move to Tundra, Saksa competed with Ninjas in Pyjamas and OG. Also, he was in a coaching role with the Ukrainian organization, HellRaisers in 2017.
The entire Tundra Dota 2 lineup is as follows:
- Oliver ‘Skiter’ Lepko
- Leon Kirilin ‘Nine’
- Neta “33′ Shapira
- Martin ‘Saksa’ Sazdov
- Jingjun ‘Sneyking’ Wu – (captain)
- Kurtis ‘Aui_2000’ Ling (coach)

In the near term, I’ll figure out how things work within the team and become familiar with how everyone communicates. I’m hoping that all the work we do produce good results and someday wins the in TI.”
