SabeRLight- joins Virtus.pro after Team Liquid departure

As mentioned, SabeRLight- wasn’t teamless for too long, with just a few hours between his departure announcement and signing with Virtus.pro. The storied veteran, who’d played across multiple regions, was most recently a part of Team Liquid, albeit on the inactive roster list.

SabeRLight- had joined Team Liquid at the tale end of 2024, with the offlaner joining following Neta “33” Shapira’s departure after TI13. He filled the role until following TI14 when he was made inactive just prior the signing of Erik “tOfu” Engel and Marcus “Ace” Christensen. He remained on the roster until today when he was formally released, and joined VP.

In their announcement post, Team Liquid thanked SabeRLight- for his time with the organization: “Thank you @jonas_volek, we’re wishing you nothing but the very best in what comes next”

Virtus.pro also released a statement on the signing of SabeRLight:

“We are pleased to announce the newest offlane player of our Dota 2 roster: Jonáš “SabeRLight-” Volek is joining the team.
