Ceb Looks Back at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Qualifier

Reflecting on OG's performance at the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 qualifier, Ceb remarked, "I think our performance overall was acceptable. I think we showed some good games. Obviously, overall it was disappointing and we were really disappointed with the result. Because the practice went really well. We were beating all the teams that were part [of] the qualifiers. I mean also losing games to them, but we we got the proof that we were already good enough to beat any of these teams. So, in that sense losing the qualifier was a big disappointment."

While Ceb stated that losses are a part of the process, he still wished that OG qualified for the main event as the team wanted to play in Malaysia. According to Ceb, this qualifier loss has motivated the team and it is working really hard for the upcoming ones.

If you have been following the Dota 2 pro scene for quite some time, you will recall that Ceb initially played as an offlaner but he came out of retirement on 30th July 2023 and joined OG as the new position five support. He said he suggested this as an option and the team also felt the same.

Talking about his role as a position five support in detail, Ceb stated, "I want OG Dota to be back to where it should be and that's winning tournaments. I felt like I could help the team. I felt like I could fill the role and that I was ready to do so and that I was ready to bring a lot of value to the team."
