Michael "ninjaboogie" Ross Jr. is a Filipino/American professional Dota 2 player who last played for Team SMG.
Biography[edit]
On April 28, 2012 ninjaboogie officially transferred from Duskbin's Heroes of Newerth division to captain of their new Dota 2 division.[1] In early 2013, ninjaboogie moved to Neolution.int and became their captain. His time at Neolution.int was successful enough to receive an invite from Valve to The International 2013 East Qualifiers. However, in a surprising move from Neolution.int's manager, ninjaboogie was removed from the squad and thus Neolution.int's invite to the The International 2013 East Qualifiers was revoked.[2]
ninjaboogie stayed in team Rave for a couple years before leaving for Mineski. During his time in Mineski, he won PGL Open Bucharest 2017 and Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018.
In 2021 and 2022, ninjaboogie played for Team SMG in the Dota Pro Circuit. He was released from the team in controversial circumstances on 20th May, 2022, with the player claiming that this was due to concerns over his performance in light of personal circumstances.[3][4]
