Insider: Ana could return to Dota 2

Former OG player and two-time The International champion, Anathan «ana» Pham, could return to the competitive Dota 2 scene. Rumors of this have emerged from several sources.

A Reddit post citing Tieba Baidu's source said that Ana contacted Invictus Gaming and wanted to return to the competitive Dota 2. He wanted to move to Thailand to play on a Chinese server with a more stable ping. However, iG wanted to see all the players at the bootcamp during the DPC season. It remained a mystery to some why Oli was allowed to play online from Malaysia while Ana was not. Some argue that the withdrawal is related to a conflict between player and organization in 2016. Or the reason was the overpriced salary, which iG considered overpriced for Ana.

Analyst and translator, Leon «Arthur» Lee, tweeted a slightly different course of events. According to him, Invictus Gaming offered ana to play in the DPC league online, with which he agreed. But in negotiations, iG changed their terms and wanted all players to play in China. Moreover, the player's salary was also a difficult topic to discuss and, as a result, nothing happened.

 

Ana has already tried to come back and played for OG. However, he again decided to end his career.
