Rumors: Ceb May Skip The International 10
Ihor MatusAccording to recent rumors, Sebastian 'Ceb' Debs may miss the tenth The International. This information was shared by an insider known under the pseudonym monkagiga1234. He told this to Jean 'Gorgc' Stefanovski, a former OG streamer, and Jean, in turn, made the message public.
The reason monkagiga1234 named was far from what everyone expected to hear. Many assumed that Ceb fell ill with the coronavirus, but the Frenchman underwent eye surgery. In this regard, he received a ban from doctors not to sit in front of the monitor for three months. Otherwise, Sebastian Debs risks being left blind.
Debs is rumored to be replaced by Team Liquid esportsman Mike 'miCKe' Wu. The Dota 2 Pro Tracker service says that Sebastian played his last match eight days ago, and miCKe from Liquid has been playing in the third position for more than a week, which is not at all typical for him. Mike Wu is known for his first and second position.
OG has not yet commented on these rumors and left the public unanswered. This should be corrected in the near future.
The absence of Ceb can significantly affect the results of OG, since it was together with the French esports player that the European team was able to win The International 2018 and The International 2019. The team became the first two-time champion of The International in the history of professional Dota 2. In addition, the team became the first champion of the TI series of tournaments, who managed to defend his title. However, even if Ceb is present at this The International, players will not be able to play in the OG championship lineup at The International 2021. JerAx declared January 26, 2020 on his retirement from the eSports and Anatai 'ana' Pham completed his June 24 fight. The places of the departed cybersportsmen were taken by Martin 'Saksa' Sazdov and Sumail 'SumaiL' Hassan. In addition, other personnel changes took place in the roster. Frenchman Tituan 'Sockshka' Merloz, who managed to help the players become the most successful team in Dota 2 history as a coach, was moved to the position of assistant coach and was replaced by Mikhail 'Misha' Agatov.
Earlier, the coach of the Team Aster team reported about his dissatisfaction with the organization of the championship, as the arrived players fell ill with the coronavirus, and there are no precautions at the hotel where the players live. In addition, cybersportsmen cannot receive qualified medical assistance with the help of organizers. LaNm soon deleted his posts regarding dissatisfaction with Valve, but if you missed this event, you can read more about the Chinese coach in our material.
The International 10 will take place from October 7th to 17th. The event is to take place in the Romanian capital, Bucharest. 18 representatives from 6 regions will share $ 40,000,000 among each other, a prize fund that has become a record in the history of computer sports. Team Aster, by the way, is not the only team that fell ill with the coronavirus. Previously, Tia Zhong 'JT-' Wen, offlaneer of Invictus Gaming, was seen doing this. At the moment, Romania has recorded a large peak in incidence, which is the second largest in the country since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic. According to the rules established by Vavle, in order to participate in The International, all participants must be vaccinated.
