Puppey hinted at his participation in The International 2023

Legendary Team Secret captain Clement "Puppey" Ivanov made an unexpected statement during an interview on Reddit "Asking Puppey Dumb Questions." The host jokingly pointed out that Puppey wouldn't have to endure a very long flight to Seattle, where TI12 will be held. Puppey unexpectedly replied, "Maybe it will be necessary."

Considering that Puppey's team did not qualify, fans had initially thought that the legend might miss the main Dota 2 event for the first time. Now, the community is speculating about what role he might take at the tournament.

Some believe that Pavel might participate as an analyst, while others think he could be involved in the All-Stars game. It's entirely possible that Puppey will surprise everyone and participate in some new format at The International 2023.

As a reminder, Team Secret lost to Quest Esports (1-2) and was eliminated from the regional qualifiers in Western Europe.
