Known for his unorthodox style of play and item builds, Dendi spent most of his career with Natus Vincere at the solo mid position. Dendi was an integral part of Na'Vi winning The International in 2011 and helped the team reach back-to-back finals in 2012 and 2013.
"Thank you for giving me great opportunity to play in SEA for Tigers. It was a great experience and a fun time. Unfortunately, our results were not very good so I decided to try something new. I really wish you to find success and achieve the goals you want," Dendi wrote in the post.
