Ryoya was picked up by GeekFam after he decided to leave the North American Beastcoast squad that disbanded after failing to qualify for The International 2019 through the regional qualifier.

Ryoya also mentioned in a Tweet that he is now currently looking for a new organization to play for.

While Karl is a fairly new name on the Dota pro scene, has been competing in lesser-known Dota 2 events in the SEA region, and was recently on Team Amplfy.

GeekFam is set to compete in the WePlay! Bukovel Minor on January 9-12, 2019, where teams will be competing for US$300,000 and 660 DPC.
