A player fired from his team for staying with his cancer-stricken mother

Roster changes happen every day and on all games in esports. If some are on good terms, others are sometimes controversial. This is also the case for the very recent departure of Michael “ninjaboogie” Ross Jr from Team SMG on Dota 2. On May 20, the structure formalized the news which did not fail to revolt the community since the player spoke directly about the situation.

On Twitter, the player mentioned very surprising reasons. Indeed, the double participant of The International, evokes that his departure is linked to the fact thathe would rather spend time with his mom who had stage 4 cancer and died a few days later than go to a bootcamp. According to him, the structure would have evoked the fact that this situation would lower the player’s performance level. This incredible story is simply shameful and intolerable.

If ninjaboogie can keep their heads up sincehe acted in the best possible way by being close to a person he loved, the structure cannot do the same. Many personalities have come forward in response to the tweet of the player’s departure to support the latter and especially to accuse Team SMG. The latter has still not officially reacted to this controversy. and we are eagerly awaiting an explanation that should not restore its image.

Anyway, we can support the player who lives complicated days following the death of his mother and his unfair exclusion from the team. On his side, ninjaboogie talked about how he never wanted to hear about the structure againWell Named.
