Career
ALOHADANCE started his professional career in the Dota 2 scene in late 2013 by playing on FlipSid3 Tactics. Soon he joined the HellRaisers team and continued playing there until September. Ilya played for Team Empire as a stand-in for a period of time before officially being added to the Empire roster on December 31st, 2014. He became known to the Dota 2 scene outside the CIS after playing on the TI5 Team Empire roster. Empire performed well for an underdog team in the group stage, securing an upper bracket spot by winning a tie-breaker match against their CIS rivals Virtus.Pro 2-1. In the main event, they lost to LGD Gaming in the upper bracket and MVP Phoenix in the lower bracket, knocking them out of the tournament. ALOHADANCE continued to play on Empire until Dota Pit League/Season 4.[1]
After Dota Pit, ALOHADANCE switched to the carry role, playing in a short-lived Virtus.Pro lineup along with former Empire teammate yoky- and former VP players like fng and G. After that, he played for the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. lineup, continuing to play as a position 1 player. ALOHADANCE and G left for Empire, but shortly after rejoined the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. roster again.[2]
On April 9th, 2017, he joined Vega Squadron alongside his former ally G in 2017, playing for Vega until 2018.[3] After which he remained teamless.[4] And according to information provided from his stream, he was open to playing position 1 or 4, whichever was suitable.
In September 2019, he returned to active play after more than one and a half years away.[2]
His major popularity is dedicated to the Twitch.TV platform, where ALOHADANCE had a popular stream regularly pulling in more than 10,000 viewers[2] before receiving a ban on Twitch for playing the Maroon 5 song "Girls Like You" on stream.[5] He was unbanned on January 12th, 2019.
