Ivan "Pure" Moscow will be absent on the first day of the Dreamleague Season 26 tournament in Dota 2. Instead he will be Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov, who will play in the main squad of Betboom Team.

The official announcement is posted on the team's Telegram channel:

"Today Ilya‘ Kiritych ’Ulyanov will play instead of Ivan‘ Pure ’Moskalenko."

The reason for replacement

The management board does not announce the specific reason, but due to the information that Pure is absent only one day, it is likely that the cause is due to unexpected personal reasons or mild health issues.
