Sebastien 'Ceb' Debs won two TIs in a row

Sebastien 'Ceb' Debs was born in France. He started playing DotA in a French team known as Team Shakira. From there he joined Team mTw ahead of TI2. As TI2 rolled around, mTw was considered to be one of the strongest teams in the tournament. But in the tournament the collapsed and were eliminated in the last place.

Following this disappointing finish, Ceb left and reformed Team Shakira. This is where Ceb would first become a coach for his team. However, after failing to qualify for TI3 the team slowly fell apart and Ceb formed yet another team, DD.Dota. After some mediocre success, this team fell apart as well and Ceb was picked up by Alliance who were looking to rebuild their team. But his Alliance run came to a swift end..

He tried his hand as an analyst in The Shanghai Major and then was mostly forgotten in the pro scene until OG signed him as their coach. With Ceb as their coach, OG won 3 Majors. After a disappointing season following TI6, several of OG's players unceremoniously left the team. This prompted Ceb to return to playing and OG went on to win back to back TIs.

Over 97% of his earnings come from his two TI finishes. His win at TI8 got him $2,246,831 and his win at TI9 got him $3,124,036.

He is the highest earning French player in esports history as well as the 3rd highest earning European player.
