Quest Esports had a tumultuous Dota 2 season in 2023, going through multiple roster changes. However, their resilience and ability to adapt led them to qualify for The International 2023, where they are determined to overcome any obstacles.
Throughout the year, Quest faced constant changes in their offlaner position, which disrupted team stability. Despite this, they managed to fill the gaps with top players and performed surprisingly well with each offlaner. However, the reality was different from what fans believed, as Quest always built the team around the offlaner instead of asking them to adapt.
The diverse playstyles of Quest’s offlaners resulted in varying strategies. Each offlaner brought their own unique approach, requiring tailored drafts. ATF’s greedy playstyle, Wuiter’s objective-focused approach, and Tobi’s style all influenced the team’s gameplay in different ways.
Quest’s core members created an environment where newcomers seamlessly integrated into the team. This contributed to their success, as offlaners could play their game without worrying about adapting to the rest of the team.
Despite the challenges they faced, Quest maintained a chill attitude and problem-solving mindset, allowing them to constantly improve. Their ability to handle stress and adapt to new situations set them apart from other teams.
Prior to qualifying for TI 2023 with their latest offlaner, Tobi, Quest made an impressive run at the Bali Major, defeating top teams like Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid. They even had a chance to advance further in the tournament but made too many mistakes against Liquid.
Looking ahead to TI 2023, TA2000, the team’s captain, expressed his pride in representing Kazakhstan at such a prestigious event. He is determined to make his country proud and give his best performance.
As TI 2023’s Road to The International begins, TA2000 and Quest are focused on securing a favorable seeding before the playoffs. They believe that when they are in their element, they can defeat any team.
