HEROIC parts ways with Parker: Sparks drama in the community

As a long-time follower of Dota 2 and a passionate supporter of South American esports scene, I find myself deeply engrossed in the recent drama unfolding within HEROIC. The departure of David “Parker” Nicho from the team has stirred up quite a storm, and it’s hard not to be captivated by the intrigue surrounding this talented player.


As a devoted fan, I’m sharing some intriguing news about the latest drama in the world of Dota 2. Previously known as HEROIC, Parker has stepped away from his team following a series of social media posts where he seemingly called out some of his former teammates. The question on everyone’s lips is: What did he say? To get all the details about this captivating story, keep reading!

Stuns the entire community: HEROIC astonishes with their revelation concerning their Dota 2 squad – David “Parker” Nicho has been dropped due to not qualifying for ESL One Bangkok. This team, being the first from South America to win an international tournament, made this decision shortly after securing Parker’s signing. To add fuel to the surprise, their social media post hinted that Parker wasn’t keen on winning during their final matches together.

During PGL Wallachia Season 2, Parker became part of the squad, going up against renowned teams such as Falcons, Tundra Esports, and Invictus Gaming. This young carry player impressed all with his unique approach and adaptability. Although the team consistently demonstrated high skill levels, they failed to secure another significant position. In reality, they ended up placing 13th-14th in DreamLeague Season 24’s final standings.

The announcement refers to a situation during the ESL Bangkok SA Qualifier Final, where disagreements on team strategy led to Parker appearing disinterested in winning. While it’s uncommon for esports teams to reveal internal reasons for player dismissals, given Parker’s outspoken nature as a public figure, HEROIC may have deemed it necessary to clarify the situation.

As anticipated, Parker performed admirably. He began by discussing the outcomes of the games and consistently strived to emerge victorious. Regardless of his utmost efforts, he implied that the team was not functioning optimally during their fifth game of the last qualifiers final, suggesting that this loss in the final game wasn’t solely attributable to him.

HEROIC Parker’s statement about his departure from the team

Immediately following the announcement, the heavyweight decided to address X in order to issue his personal statement. There, he singled out Kaffurtado, the head coach of HEROIC, and Davai Lama as individuals who seemed to obstruct Parker’s suggestions during the Draft Phase, favoring “Brazilian players” instead.

Apart from voicing his concerns about his teammate’s behavior, he also brings up an incident where KJ addressed him with a term that translates to “dumb” or “stupid” in English, which is a Peruvian slang. While this term can sometimes be used casually in Peru, Parker might have perceived it as being used in an unfriendly way.

Instead of Parker, it was Davai Lama’s behavior that provoked his strong displeasure, which he referred to as “intolerable.” This cannot be verified since it occurred during a private match, but we’re relaying his account of events. Before the qualifiers, Parker had demanded that Davai be removed from HEROIC.

It’s not unexpected that he vented following the 13th-14th placement in DreamLeague S24, as he immediately started a lengthy rant about Davai’s item choices, skills, and other aspects. Later, he issued an apology on Facebook to everyone, but neither acknowledged Davai Lama nor expressed regret for criticizing his teammate.

In conclusion, Parker additionally voiced his unease towards Kaffurtardo’s self-centered behavior. However, as of when this piece was written, no former teammates of Parker have spoken out regarding his comments.

Community reactions to HEROIC and Parker’s statements

Due to the fact that HEROIC experienced their most triumphant phase alongside Parker, there was much discussion within the community following his departure from the official team.

Initially, the viewpoint expressed came from Oliver “skiter”, who had an exceptional performance in hard carrying this year. In a light-hearted manner, he pointed out that previously, it was the Falcons causing commotion within the gaming community, but now it seems that’s no longer the case.

Although the Dalai Lama didn’t directly address the issue at hand, he took to social media to express his pride in the team’s professionalism following the incident and his excitement for having Yuma as a stand-in. Regrettably for him, his post drew an outpouring of negativity from South American fans, many of whom seem to side with Parker. They labeled him as toxic, but some defenders spoke up in support of him, placing blame on his former teammate instead.

In a recent turn of events, the live commentator for Dota 2, Lyrical, finds himself in disagreement with HEROIC over their public discussion regarding Parker’s actions. Many viewers have voiced their opinions, expressing doubts about whether this approach is the most appropriate way to handle such a professional matter.

HEROIC’s future after their last roster change

In the upcoming international event for HEROIC, known as the BLAST Slam, Yuma will be taking over from Parker. Since the dissolution of Nouns, Yuma found himself as a free agent. There’s speculation that the South American team might be interested in a longer agreement if they manage to perform well with Yuma on their roster.

Conversely, the opportunities for Parker are limited as no team seems to be seeking a main carry figure at the moment, and the 2024 season is about to wrap up.
