Ainkrad

Aleksey “Ainkrad” Diveevskiy was born on September 24, 1999, in Belarus. He is Level UP’s position-two player and the most experienced core on the roster, having competed professionally since 2019. He has also played under the reversed nickname darkniA.

Ainkrad spent years bouncing between promising Eastern European teams without receiving many opportunities at major international events. His Level UP period finally gave him a Tier 1 LAN appearance at the Esports World Cup and a stable roster capable of winning regional tournaments.

Career

His first important period came with Nemiga Gaming, where he remained for almost two years. He later represented Mind Games and One Move before joining Team Secret in November 2024.

The Team Secret move looked like Ainkrad’s best chance to break into Tier 1 Dota, but the roster never produced the necessary results. He eventually returned to smaller regional projects and joined the Two Move stack in May 2026.

Two Move qualified for EWC 2026 and was signed by Level UP in June. After a difficult tournament in Paris, the team recovered by winning Asgard Championship Season 1 and finishing second at EPL Masters I.

Playstyle

Ainkrad is an active midlaner who is expected to connect the two side lanes and give WoE time to farm. He is not simply a second carry sitting in the jungle for thirty minutes—Level UP needs him involved whenever the supports begin moving around the map.

His experience matters just as much as his mechanics. On a roster filled with players still adapting to Tier 1 competition, Ainkrad has already spent years playing DPC matches, qualifiers, and high-pressure regional events.

Interesting Facts

His alternate nickname, darkniA, is “Ainkrad” written backwards.

He represented Team Secret from November 2024 until May 2025.
