OG’s Sébastien "Ceb" Debs, a two-time The International (TI) champion talked about his dream of playing against Xtreme Gaming’s Wang "Ame" Chunyu and Azure Ray’s Zhang "Faith_bian" Ruida (also known as Bach) in a LAN setup once again. The OG player came out of retirement to play as the position five support for the roster in July 2023 while Ame and Faith_bian also recently came out of retirement in December 2023 and January 2024, respectively.
These three players were some of the top-tier pros during the 2016-2020 era and seeing them come out of retirement certainly has excited fans. Although Ame and Faith_bian are now on different teams, they used to play together on PSG.LGD and made quite a name for themselves.
Ceb Expresses Desire to Play In a LAN Tournament Against Ame & Faith_bian
“I have a dream and it's to play in a LAN setup against faith bian and Ame again,” Ceb wrote on X (Twitter), expressing his desire to play against two players once again. Ceb wanting to play against two of the greatest players from the China region is nothing out of the ordinary. Both Ame and Faith_bian have already proved they mean business and playing against them would certainly challenge one’s skills as a player.
Ame and Faith_bian recently made headlines after coming out of retirement to play Dota 2 professionally once again. Ame joined hands with Xtreme Gaming while Faith_bian teamed up with Azure Ray to restart their Dota 2 careers. These two players were once part of PSG.LGD, one of the storied teams in Dota 2 history.
During their time with PSG.LGD, they achieved several accolades including:
1st place at WePlay AniMajor
1st place at OGA Dota PIT Invitational
2nd place at The International 2021
1st place at Riyadh Masters 2022
2nd place at PGL Arlington Major 2022
Although Ame and Faith_bian are now on different teams, it should be noted that Xtreme Gaming and Azure Ray are sister teams and fall under the same management. Therefore it is highly likely that we could see players getting shuffled between the two.
Ceb has recently been very active on X (Twitter). After OG knocked down Tundra Esports to the lower bracket of the BetBoom Dacha 2024 Dubai WEU (Western Europe) closed qualifier, Ceb tweeted, “No doubt you now slay 'em all in lb (lower bracket) @TopsonDota,” sarcastically hyping up his former teammate Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen.
In typical Ceb fashion, he brought out the classic trash-talking when he tweeted a cryptic message. Ceb wrote, “Karma never fu****g fails to deliver you gotta love it.” Many in the community speculated that Ceb’s tweet could be for former OG support Kartik "Kitrak" Rathi. Kitrak is now playing with Shopify Rebellion. However, Kitrak failed to qualify for the BetBoom Dacha 2024 Dubai main tournament after Shopify got knocked out of the tournament by Heroic.
