MinD_ContRoL made a strange statement about training with Puppey

Team SMG conducted practice matches with Clement "Puppey" Ivanov before The International 2023, but he suddenly couldn't play.

Ivan "MinD_ContRoL" Ivanov, standing in for Team SMG at TI12, revealed this during a broadcast on the "Nasha Igra" YouTube channel.

"By the way, we were practicing with Puppey, then he couldn't play. Now we are playing with Januel, we need to play with even more players"

Based on MinD_ContRoL's words, it can be speculated that Puppey was supposed to go to TI12 with Team SMG at The International 2023 but couldn't due to personal reasons that remain unknown.

Earlier, it became known that Puppey was offered a coaching position with 9 Pandas, but the legendary Dota player chose to be a player for Team SMG.
