Early TI 2023 exit continues historic curse for one of Dota 2’s best mid laners

Abed’s early departure from The International 2023 after his team Shopify Rebellion lost to TSM adds to a long-standing curse in his Dota 2 career. Even though he’s a top-tier mid laner, he has yet to win a best-of-three series in the TI playoffs in seven attempts.

The first TI he ever attended was TI6 with Execration, where he was eliminated in the wildcard qualifications against Escape Gaming. His TI7 run with Digital Chaos saw a slight improvement, yet it still ended in the second round of the lower bracket by LGD Gaming, still without a single best-of-three victory.
