Ceb's Twitter

Ceb previously announced his retirement from competitive Dota 2 in January 2020 but returned six months later. His motivation for returning was the desire to continue competing with his friends. “I honestly kinda take offense to the simple fact that other teams think that they can beat us”, Ceb had also stated upon his return, in a statement on OG's website.

As a result of their 7th-8th place finish at TI10, Ceb and OG win over one million USD. It is now down to the remaining seven teams to compete for the largest portion ($18,208,300 USD) of the $40 million prize pool. The two best teams will compete in the grand final of the event, which will take place at the Arena Nationala Stadium in Bucharest, Romania on 17th Oct 2021.
