In a surprising turn of events, OG, the renowned Dota 2 team, has announced the return of Sébastien "Ceb" Debs as their position 4 player for the highly anticipated Riyadh Masters 2023 tournament. Ceb, a two-time The International (TI) winner and OG's trusted stand-in, has consistently proved his worth, most notably securing victory at the ESL One Stockholm Major 2022 alongside the team. This unexpected roster change comes at a crucial time for OG, who have recently encountered challenges in their competitive journey.

OG’s Dota 2 Roster For Riyadh Masters 2023

Following the conclusion of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Western Europe (WEU) Tour 3: Division I, OG made a significant adjustment to their lineup. Evgenii "Chu" Makarov, previously occupying the position 4 role, has transitioned back to the assistant-coach position. Rather than recruiting a new player to fill Chu's role, OG has decided to reinstate Ceb, reaffirming their trust in his exceptional skills and adaptability.

The official roster for OG at the Riyadh Masters 2023 will now feature:

• Artem "Yuragi" Golubiev (Position 1)
• Bozhidar "bzm" Bogdanov (Position 2)
• Dmitry "DM" Dorokhin (Position 3)
• Sébastien "Ceb" Debs (Position 4)
• Tommy "Taiga" Le (Position 5)

With a staggering prize pool of $15 million USD on the line, the Riyadh Masters 2023 has garnered significant attention from the Dota 2 community. Initially scheduled to commence on July 17th, the tournament organizers have announced a slight delay, pushing the start date by two days.

Among the 20 participating teams, a majority hail from the Western European (WEU) region, with seven out of the eight teams from the DPC WEU Tour 3: Division I securing their spot. Notably absent is Div I Hustlers, leaving the competition poised for an intense battle among some of the most skilled teams in the Dota 2 scene.

Ceb's return to OG as the position 4 player for Riyadh Masters 2023 has ignited excitement and anticipation worldwide. OG has a track record of surpassing expectations when faced with roster changes and incorporating stand-in players. This remarkable ability positions them as potential dark horses in the tournament, capable of upsetting even the most formidable opponents.
