PGG excluded from The International 11 talent list
Member of the Russian caster studio ??Vladimir "PGG" Anosov said that Valve had excluded him from the staff at The International 11. However, he didn't disclose the reason for the exclusion. The information appeared on his social media.
Vladimir "PGG" Anosov:
First, I would like to address Valve on the current situation with my exclusion from The International 2022 talent list. Gentlemen, perhaps I've let you down somewhere. Maybe I failed to live up to your expectations. Maybe I've hurt you and made you feel bad. I apologize to you. I don't know the exact reason why I haven't been on TI's talent list for 6 years. But whatever it is, I'm sorry, and I sincerely apologize.
By the way, I was very happy to get an invitation to cover this year's tournament. And how sad I was to see the short notice of exclusion after a while. In this whole situation, I'm also embarrassed and uncomfortable in front of the audience. In front of the viewers who are waiting to see us on the broadcasts. Guys, I'm sorry I won't be able to be with you during our favorite event. I, like you, am very much looking forward to our meetings!
Previously, ??Dmitry "finargot" Plyusnin was excluded from the Russian caster studio. The reason wasn't announced also, but it could be due to his controversial posts on Twitter.
Tomorrow, October 8, begins the Last Chance tournament, and immediately after it The International 11 starts. The strongest teams from around the world fight for the $13,241,603 prize.
