Following the major reshuffle post-TI3, several players from Quantic Gaming, Mousesports and Flipside left their respective teams to reform DD.Dota. However, Brian 'MaNia' Strandby announced his retirement as a professional Dota 2 player in Oct 2013, which led to doubts over the team's future.
On 20 Sep 2013, 7ckngMad wrote a lengthy blog post detailing the creation of his new organization, Sigma E-sport, as well as their new 5 Position player, Pascal 'paS-' Lohmeier, formerly of mouz. They have hence renamed appropriately to Sigma.int. He also mentioned that there will be another team playing under the banner of Sigma E-sport, Sigma.fr, their 'academy' team.
"A sponsoring structure created by players for players" - The vision of Sigma E-sports closely resembles that of Razer's famous "For gamers, by gamers" motto. 7ckngMad has added, "Because a sponsoring structure is worth nothing without the players and those who support them, SIGMA will work on developing and multiplying the interactions between fans and players." The man himself is also a shareholder of the organization, so effectively, Sigma E-sport is at least partially managed by the players themselves. With the recent opening up by Speed Gaming's CEO, Marco A. Fernandez, things are indeed starting to look up for the state of the Dota 2 eSports industry.
