“Time for some Dotes,” ninjaboogie Stands-In for Team Adroit
After losing their captain Marvin “Boomy” Rushton due to visa issues, Team Adroit enlisted Michael “ninjaboogie” Ross Jr. as a stand-in to make their way to ESL One Los Angeles 2020.
In Team Adroit’s Twitter announcement, ninjaboogie is an experienced player and is known to speak Adroit’s local dialect “Bisaya,” making this temporary change much easier.
Team Adroit and ninjaboogie may have already started practicing for this major as the rest of the team has arrived in Los Angeles.
Dance your fears away with our stand-in for the #ESLOne LA Major with no other than, @ninjaboogiee!
'Mike' Ross is no stranger to the local and international scene having won a Major title. Experience and communications-wise, there's no one we could've asked for.

“Experience and communications-wise, there’s no one we could’ve asked for,” part of the team’s Tweet said.
ninjaboogie started his career in Esports playing Heroes of Newerth. He then shifted to Dota 2 in 2013. He is also a former player for notable teams like Rave, TNC, and Mineski, known to play supporting roles.
His experience and knowledge of the game will be very vital to Team Adroit. ninjaboogie already has experienced winning big tournaments as he already won a major with Mineski.
Ninjaboogie will play position 5 and Bryle “cml” Alviso will change his role into position 4.
Team Adroit is one of two teams that have confirmed to send a stand-in during this Major with Virtus.Pro having iLTW stand in for Cooman.
Team Aster has yet to settle its visa issues and has already considered the possibility of acquiring three stand-ins.
