MANILA -- Blacklist International announced the disbandment of its Dota 2 team on Wednesday.

"After two years of working with Rivalry to bring Blacklist to the Dota scene, this chapter of our history is coming to a close," the team said in a statement.

The Filipino esports organization thanked the support it received in almost two years.

"No one can deny that Blacklist Rivalry fought hard to fulfill the mission. Whether you love us or hate us, one thing is for sure: you followed us throughout this journey. And for that, we are thankful," it said.

"Unfortunately, even the greatest of stories must come to an end. We are incredibly thankful for each and every player and coach that has been part of the team. Their contributions to the Blacklist culture will always remain a part of our history," it added.

Blacklist Rivalry qualified in major international events such as the Esports World Cup, where they placed 15th-16th.

The Pinoy squad, however, failed to qualify at The International 2024 (TI 2024), after falling to TNC Predator.

The team said it allowed its players to "explore their options" outside the organization.

"As The International season comes to a close, along with the ever-evolving landscape of the DOTA 2 professional ecosystem, Blacklist International decided to reassess our future in the scene and allowed our players to explore their options."
