About VP.Prodigy's run in tournaments
The team has reached grand finals in five out of seven tournaments and won three of them. Quite an achievement considering they were formed this year. They even managed to take a game off Team Secret in their first match in the Dota 2 OGA PIT S3 2020 which was quite a big deal as Team Secret at that period were, essentially unbeatable by any Europe/CIS team completely in a bo3 or bo5.
Each one of their players have shown immense potential to shine and have their own moments in the game. But what happens to the main roster?
