In the world of professional Dota 2, anticipation and excitement are building as the biggest event of the year, The International 2023 (TI12), draws near. Among the players eagerly gearing up for the prestigious tournament is Kim "Gabbi" Santos, a Filipino offlaner currently donning the Entity jersey.
On September 18, 2023, Gabbi took to Twitter to share the unfortunate news of his DreamLeague Season 21 absence, citing complications related to his visa and high ping as the primary culprits. His absence was a disappointment to both fans and his team, Entity. However, Gabbi remained resolute, focusing his energy on preparing for the upcoming pinnacle of Dota 2 competition, The International 2023.
Gabbi’s finally secures a Visa for TI12
The road to securing a visa for The International 2023 proved to be a challenging one for Gabbi, who had to navigate bureaucratic hurdles and uncertainties. For a player of his caliber, missing out on such a grand event was disheartening. Nevertheless, his determination prevailed, and Gabbi can now breathe a sigh of relief as he has finally secured the necessary visa to the United States, the host country for The International 2023.
The timing of this achievement couldn't be more critical. The International 2023 is scheduled to kick off on October 12, 2023, in Seattle, Washington. Gabbi shared his excitement and relief with his fans on Facebook, announcing the positive news and expressing his optimism about making it to the United States on time for the competition.
Gabbi's return to Entity's lineup is a significant relief for the team. His ability to wield an arsenal of heroes capable of carrying the team in the late game while maintaining a tanky and durable presence in the Offlane will be a critical factor in Entity's quest for success at The International.
