Dota 2 star Ceb explains why he's returning to OG six months after retiring

One of OG's back-to-back The International-winning team, Sebastien 'Ceb' Debs, has revealed why he made the surprise decision to return to the main roster and compete in Dota 2 once again six months after retiring.


Ceb announced his retirement as a player in January of this year but remained with OG as a coach. However, the organisation revealed on July 25 that Sumail 'Sumail' Hassan would be departing and that Ceb would return to competing once again. Now the Frenchman has lifted the lid on why he came out of competitive retirement - and he seems pretty fired up.


In an interview with OG, Ceb says the biggest reason he retired in the first place was that he was burned out and struggling to create a balance between competing and a social life outside of Dota. However, changing attitudes to burnout in the esports industry - which has become a prevalent topic in esports recently with the likes of Astralis' CS:GO roster suffering two big burnout casualties - convinced Ceb to come back.
