Xipto Esports

Xipto Esports is a Singaporean esports organization that entered professional Dota 2 on 31 August 2026, eight days after The International 2026 concluded. Previously known primarily for its Valorant operations (including Game Changers' success), the organization fielded a pan-Southeast Asian roster often referred to as “23savage and the boys.”

Formation

Xipto’s inaugural Dota 2 lineup consisted of Nuengnara “23savage” Teeramahanon (carry, Thailand), Muhammad Rizky “inYourdreaM” Anugrah (mid, Indonesia), Muhammad Saieful “Fbz” Ilham (offlane, Indonesia), Worawit “Q” Mekchai (soft support/captain, Thailand), and Chan Chon “Oli” Kien (hard support, Malaysia). All five joined on the same day. The roster reunited the former Aurora Gaming trio of 23savage, Q, and Oli while adding the Indonesian core of inYourdreaM and Fbz from the recently disbanded REKONIX. At the time of formation the organization was still actively searching for a coach, leaving Q as the primary in-game leader and captain.

Early Competitive Activity

In its first weeks the team competed in regional online events, including the RES Unchained 6 SEA closed qualifier (eliminated 0-2 by Bored) and the group stage of EPL World Series Southeast Asia Season 18. Early results showed mixed form as the new squad began building chemistry.

Playstyle and Reputation

Xipto typically revolves around 23savage’s high-ceiling carry play, supported by inYourdreaM’s midlane presence and Fbz’s offlane initiation. Q and Oli provide vision control, map movement, and supportive utility, drawing on their prior chemistry with the carry. The squad is viewed as one of the more experienced and high-prize-money collections assembled in SEA during the 2026 post-TI shuffle, combining individual pedigree with regional familiarity.

Fun Facts:

Xipto entered Dota 2 with no prior history in the title, expanding from a Valorant-focused organization founded in 2024.

The roster brought together players with a combined career prize pool exceeding $3 million.

Three members (23savage, Q, Oli) had previously played together at both Talon Esports and Aurora Gaming.
