Both Newbee and Team Faceless have registered their respective rosters ahead of The Kiev Major 2017 with the same rosters they fielded at The Boston Major 2016, according to the Dota 2 Major Registration website. The news follows both team’s 9th-16th place finishes at the Boston Major as Faceless lost to Digital Chaos 2-0 in the Round of 16 of the single elimination bracket, while Newbee lost to eventual runner ups Ad Finem 2-1 in the Round of 16. Despite the disappointing finish at the Major, and later a surprising 5th-10th finish at World Cyber Arena 2016, Newbee capped their 2016 year with back-to-back Grand Final appearances. Newbe finished second at China Top 2016, losing 2-0 to Evil Geniuses, and dominated Dota 2 Professional League Season 2. Newbee topped the DPL Top League group and were directly seeded into the Grand Finals, where swept iG Vitality 3-0 to take the tournament. Faceless also recently had a strong, second-place finish at ASUS ROG SEA Cup after losing a close 3-2 Grand Final against Execration, though it was only a minor event. Here’s what Newbee’s roster will look like for The Kiev Major 2017:
