Ceb unexpectedly defended Dyrachyo after the scandal at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023

Sebastian "Ceb" Debs, representing OG, unexpectedly defended Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov, the carry player for Gaimin Gladiators, after his scandalous remarks towards Azure Ray. The esports athlete sees nothing wrong with trash talk during tournaments.

The two-time Dota 2 world champion made an unexpected statement during the OGEsports Twitch stream.

"It's good content. I flamed ppd and many other players, miss that. It was cool. Everyone followed the tension between RAMZES666 and Quinn, everyone followed the confrontation between OG and Evil Geniuses. It gives matches special meaning. They start and end, but everyone remembers these stories. Sometimes everything is forgotten over time because rosters change or something else. But sometimes these stories remain because trash talk is always memorable. You can tell who looks cool because of it and who doesn't. But if you use trash talk and can't perform in the game, that's a problem"

This comes in the wake of the dyrachyo scandal, where he unexpectedly insulted Azure Ray before the grand finals of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, but Gaimin Gladiators suddenly lost to the Chinese team with a score of 2:3, conceding three consecutive maps.
