The Dota 2 scene is no stranger to last-minute stand-ins, and PGL Wallachia #4 just added another chapter to that story. Tundra Esports has announced that Malaysian veteran MidOne is stepping in as coach for the team, temporarily replacing MoonMeander during the group stage.

MoonMeander, Tundra’s regular coach, is currently on a break in California, as seen on his Instagram @moonmeanduh. While there’s no official statement from Tundra regarding his absence, it appears to be a planned holiday break after a busy competitive season.

In a more surprising twist, Tundra has stated that if they qualify for the playoffs, MidOne will also stand in for 33 in the offlane. The team hasn’t provided details about 33’s potential unavailability, and the reason for his absence remains unclear.

33, one of the most consistent offlaners in the professional scene and a key piece in Tundra’s success, will be missed if he’s unable to play. Fans have been left speculating, but no official update has been shared as of now.

MidOne, known for his versatility and high-level experience across multiple roles, seems poised to take on the challenge. Whether coaching or potentially competing in the offlane, his presence brings a stabilizing veteran influence to the squad.

With the group stage still ongoing, Tundra’s path to the playoffs remains uncertain—but all eyes will be on how they adapt to these changes and whether MidOne’s involvement can help steer them forward.
