Despite not being able to attend the tournament due to finalizing his visa issues for the upcoming The International 2022 (TI11), Misha celebrated the team’s victory on Twitter as well.
Chuvash
Having stood-in for Misha during the tournament, Chuvash managed to keep his critics quiet after his outstanding performance at the tournament while also taking a funny jab at Ceb.

To accommodate Chuvash, Tommy “Taiga” Le rotated to position five throughout the tournament. He also thanked the fans that were watching from home and the venue before funnily telling the fans to go to bed.
