Our Team

Players

Atenea

Position 1 - Carry

Atenea

I'm Atenea, or Daniela. My favorite Dota heroes are Juggernaut and Meepo. Besides gaming, I love music (singing and playing piano, and a bit of guitar). I love animals, especially kittens, and I always like to name them after Dota heroes.

Snoopy

Position 2 - Mid

Snoopy

My name is Ágata, known in the Dota world as Snoopy. I was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, but I've lived in Brazil since 2013. I'm a curious and very impatient person. I like walking on the beach or places with few people, I like animals but I don't have any because I have allergies. I started playing Dota 2 in 2013, basically playing for fun and spending time with my sisters and brother. We divided the heroes among the 4 of us, which explains my great versatility. I specialized in mid about 7 years ago when I decided to take the game more seriously to grow and learn. My favorite heroes right now are: Puck, Lina and Storm. My favorite food is Ice Cream, I could eat it in any weather, date or time xD.

Ferruzo

Position 3 - Offlaner

Ferruzo

I'm Kiara. My nickname and surname is Ferruzo. I've been playing video games since I was 5 thanks to my 3 older brothers. I started playing Dota in 2014. I reached Immortal rank in 2019, then found out I was one of the first women in Latin America to achieve that medal! I quit Dota for 3 years but returned in 2024 with full motivation to compete and improve my skills. I'm a professional translator specialized in subtitling. Currently, I work as an instrumental musician, Twitch streamer, SEO writer, and have worked as a UX/UI designer for various Latin American startups.

Lumi

Position 4 - Support

Lumi

Hi, I'm Pamela, but I'm known as Lumi, which is my gaming nickname. I'm currently a Dota 2 player and play Valorant in my free time. I play position 4 in Arduina Gaming, where you can develop social and mental skills to grow competitively. I've learned more about teamwork and the importance of perseverance. I'm very happy to represent my country in the women's Dota 2 team. To maintain my mental balance, I weave keychains because it helps me relax and I can focus on new ideas to develop better in the competitive scene. My dream is to continue growing as a player within Arduina and show that with discipline and good coordination you can go far ✨

Tyrandiris

Position 5 - Hard Support

Tyrandiris

Tyrandiris: My nick comes from the combination of Tyrande + Iris. I've known Dota since Dota 1 came out, at that time I played against bots because I didn't have internet or my own PC, but around age 14 I started playing online (I left it for 2 years during the pandemic to play WoW). I started as Hard carry but the lack of support in my ranked games led me to change roles, and it's the role I have the most experience with currently. I really like playing video games, but Dota is the only online-multiplayer I play, I don't have time or desire to learn another game that requires so much time and learning, and I don't like playing without tryharding. I play single-player or co-op games, it doesn't matter if they're mechanically difficult as long as they're not complex in terms of knowledge. My favorites are metroidvania and puzzles. My other hobbies are reading, board games, and journaling. I have a Pitbull named Kael and he's my adoration.

My name is Bruno, I'm 26 years old and currently live in São Paulo - Brazil. I started my journey in Dota I, in Warcraft III, playing with friends, and my first hero was Lich. Over the years, I've been deepening my knowledge of the game, playing and studying daily to improve my skills and strategies. Additionally, I really enjoy reading and cinema, which I enjoy in my free time.

Pokenza

Psychologist

Pokenza

My name is Laura, I love cats and I'm a Rio native by birth, but I lived in Bolivia for a long time with my family. In 2013 I returned to Brazil where I studied Psychology. I've played Dota since I was 13, and today I have the joy of combining two of my great passions: Psychology and Dota. My main goal is to help the team reach their maximum potential in an environment of care, respect and mutual growth.
