How being a former coach took Team OG's 'Ceb' to the next level
Formerly the main coach of Team OG, Sébastien 'Ceb' Debs is now one of the best offlaners in the world for the back-to-back TI champions. Here's why...
For years, Sébastien 'Ceb' Debs was a player who hovered between the very top tier of Dota and the mid-level teams in which it can be tough to make a good living. So, after a long career, he transitioned to become OG’s main coach in 2016, half expecting to never play professionally again. But when OG was in need of players to build a roster for TI8, the Frenchman stepped up, becoming the team's offlaner.
It soon became clear that analysing the game as a coach had added a new dimension to 'Ceb', and he rapidly became one of the best offlaners in the world. Just weeks before TI8 he wasn't even supposed to be playing at the competition, but he took the challenge in his stride and achieved his dream, winning TI and becoming a millionaire overnight.
And if his local bank branch were happy with that, they will have been delighted following the recent TI9 event in Shanghai, where Ceb and his Team OG cohorts smashed the opposition to make history with a second successive title. Click here to read about how they made history.
