Update on Sheev!
She just came out of her 9hr surgery, is in some pain, but is awake and talking, and asking me to thank you all for the kind words!
Doctor's are happy with how it went!
She should be able to come home by Sunday. :)
I ❤ DOTA AND I ❤ ALL OF YOU!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THAT HAS ALLOWED ME TO ACHIEVE MY DREAM TWICE, CASTING THE TI FINALS WITH MY MAIN MAN FOGGED!
❤ #TI9
I will not be attending the Bucharest Minor or Chongqing major, as they both happen just after Sheever's reconstructive surgery, and I will be fully focusing on helping her recover at home, as she will be unable to travel and will need my assistance.
Hope you will all understand!
Riot not sending English casters onsite for their TI (Worlds) this year is an insult to LOL fans.
Thank goodness Valve, and ALL DOTA tournament organisers understand the huge difference in hype and emotion it makes to have talent onsite.
Seems like Riot hasn't got a clue!
A health update and good news!
Just had the hospital finish looking at my insides, and they confirmed that the cause of my symptoms was nothing serious!
Small things that can be treated rather easily.
Shame I can't be present at the major, but relieved to have my health checked!
All your awesome comments mean the world to me.
I would never have managed to achieve my dream without the support of you as a community.
Today is going to be spectacular!
Let's enjoy it together. <3

Unfortunately I won't be onsite in Ukraine for the major, as I have some health stuff(not covid) that I'm getting some examinations for here in NL, and with the current travel quarantine requirements I am unable to fly back and forth in time to do both.
My goodness, this really does sum up the belief @OGesports had in their unique strats and drafting.
On paper, that game 5 draft had some of the worst individual hero winrates of TI8, but they knew that together they could make it work.
Wow.

VERY WELL PLAYED @Team__Spirit! What a win!🥳
Had an amazing time covering the finals with @iNsan1a alongside the duo of @TrentPax + @LyricalDota!
Hope you all enjoyed the hype! GGWP! 🔥🔥🔥
Some fantastic games to look back on this TI.
It's been an absolute blast. ❤️ #TI10
Me and Sheev got a new place together, and moving in during TI qualis, so we decided to kidnapped Fogged to the Netherlands and will be cosying up on the sofa following teams through the opens, and certain regionals. A couple of recognisable EU idiots will probably turn up to xxx
TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!
And then the countdown to getting our hands on the new heroes and the post-TI update in BOTH DOTA AND UNDERLORDS!

We have the right to use our judgement to decide who we do not want to associate with, in order to make the scene as safe, welcoming and inclusive for all.
Nobody is being convicted from messages alone and for that to happen OF COURSE it would have to go through a court of law.
It's 538am but I can't sleep because in 3hrs 22 minutes we have biggest opening ceremony in esports ever, then moving straight into:
TI3 Alliance - Loda, S4, Bdog, EGM, Akke
vs
Sadim stack - Gorg, Waga, Bamboe, Sing, Synd
DO NOT MISS IT! It's going to be a lot of fun!

I'M IN THE GAME BABBBYY! THANK YOUR MR GABEN PRAISE BE TO YOU!
FEELS GOOD TO BE IN THE BATTLEPASS WITH MA BOI @Foggeddota !!!!
ps. DUDE HOW HYPE ARE THOSE LVL 1205 LINES I GOTTA SPEND DOLLAA!
#AI bots just beat humans at the video game Dota 2. That’s a big deal, because their victory required teamwork and collaboration – a huge milestone in advancing artificial intelligence. b-gat.es/2KqAlzU
What a night!
Hope you all enjoyed the show!
Huge thanks to @teamnigma, @OGesports, @dota2ti, @Foggeddota, @SirActionSlacks, @KaciAitchison and all of you fans watching here in Berlin and from all around the world!
You all made tonight incredibly memorable, thank you so much! <3
There is so much more beyond the things that are seen publicly. I have been shared the messages in question, and to those who trust my judgement, I can tell you there is absolutely no place for someone like Tobi in our scene, and that those who have also seen them will agree.
What a LAN. What a finals.
Congratulations to @TeamNigma!
An excellent series against @teamsecret to end what has been an incredible tournament.
Thank you so much to all those who tuned in for what has been a fantastic celebration of DOTA!
Hope you all enjoyed it!
<3
Had a blast with Mr @LacosteDota!
Was amazing casting an international level LAN again.
Thank you for inviting me @pglesports and @ONEEsports, and thank you all for tuning in!
DOTA is the best!
#SingaporeMajor
Was doubtful about Galaxy Battles, but am glad to be proved wrong, as the crowd are sure getting the show they deserve!
The memes that the event has produced have been top class, and Eri's been amazing.
Hope that things change in the future so the Philippines can get that major!!
For those that continue to ask me about Zyori, I encourage you to watch and listen to his response. We can all learn a lot from it, and I absolutely do not believe his career should be damaged by the events involving him, and would have no problem whatsoever working with Andrew.
Thanks to @GESChampionship, the teams, the fans, for an awesome experience!
For their first international Dota 2 event, GESC did a fantastic job onsite, and I look forward to seeing them do more with Dota in the future!
Hope to see you again Indonesia! <3
What a series to end the patch on!
Virtus Pro looking as ridiculously good at Dota 2 as ever!
Thank you Secret and VP for an amazing 5 game series finale, and thank YOU the fans, for being as awesome as ever.
Formalities aside, BYE BYE TB, GIMME 7.20!
#klmajor
Just look at some of these K/D/A's from Raven on @TeamGeekFam during the @ONEEsports SEA League.
Incredible levels of consistency with just game after game of hardly even dying. GGWP! #SEAdota
Today was a good day.
APART FROM THAT ONE MUPPET WHO TILTED FROM MINUTE ONE IN THAT ONE GAME. IM LOOKING AT YOU YOU GRIMSTROKE PICKIGN NUMPTY AOISDDHKJALSD. smiley face! PMA lads, P M A. :)
Loving the @GESChampionship so far!
Fantastic games, a super enjoyable event to work, and an incredible crowd here in indonesia!
Still a whole day ahead of us here, and I already am hoping that we will return to Indonesia again for more events.
The fans here are AWESOME!
Hopefully nothing to worry about, just something I need to get checked sooner than later to be safe. I have the hospital appointment in a week and a bit.
You WILL still catch me casting some games remotely on the mainstream. And this major will be great!
Games will be amazing!<3
My absolute pleasure to be getting the opportunity to bring you some of the TI action again this year!
Always grateful for the support of the fans, that gets me invited each time, so thank you for enjoying what I love doing. Looking forward to some amazing moments!❤️
Feels good to be about to board a plane back to my home country in ordet to work a DOTA 2 MAJOR!!!!!
I can already smell the Greggs, Nandos, Wetherspoons, Pizza Express, Tesco meal deals, and Fish n' Chips!
Can confirm @GESChampionship is the best. I was playing some SEA pubs yesterday and shouted "I NEED ICE CREAM" and then they went and bought me ice cream. 11/10 event.
Thank you to all those who came over to the Birmingham Arena!
You all made an incredible case for more esport events, DOTA 2 events to be brought over to the UK that organisers, sponsors, and investors will absolutely have noticed!
I am POSITIVE that we will return for your hype!
You said tomorrow over 27hrs ago mr gaben. It is past my bed time and i had a long day comentating for your major and now i cri.
plz i really like this videogame a lot and it good.
If you bailed on Artifact before, due to pretty valid reasons, I highly recommend you give it another shot with this new update.
Incredibly easy to now gain tickets and card packs without putting in money past purchasing the game.
The decision to also balance cards is awesome!
Apologies if some of my humour was too harsh on @EvilGeniuses!
The squad played great to get as far as they did, and giving us the 5 games grand final is always a special treat!
I can't wait to see this team continue to stay at the top! <3
