Kenny "Xepher" Deo: A Journey from Dota 2 Player to Assistant Coach at Blacklist Rivalry

Gonemon.com - The Esports world continues to evolve, and the success stories of players and figures behind the scenes are becoming more inspiring than ever. One name worth highlighting is Kenny "Xepher" Deo, an Indonesian Dota 2 player who has undergone a transformation, now serving as an assistant coach with the Blacklist Rivalry team.

Xepher is not just a player; he is a living testament to the idea that an esports career can take diverse and intriguing paths. Before stepping onto the professional stage, Xepher made his mark as a position 4 support player with the Boom Esports team. However, as is often the case in the competitive landscape, the journey wasn't always smooth sailing.

On July 22nd, Boom Esports' official Instagram account announced that Xepher would be categorized as an "inactive" player. Then, on August 2nd, further news broke that Xepher had officially parted ways with the Boom Esports team. While such moments of departure can be bitter, Xepher chose to view it as a new door opening.

Xepher's move to Blacklist Rivalry signifies not only a step forward in his career but also brings forth a unique narrative of relationships and track records he has established. Prior to this move, Xepher had previously played alongside two members of Blacklist Rivalry, namely "Kuku" Carlo Palad and "karl" Matthew Baldovino, during their time together in the T1 Esports team. Their achievements should not be underestimated, particularly as they successfully qualified for The International 10 (TI 10), one of the most prestigious tournaments in the Dota 2 world. Although T1 eventually finished in the 7-8th position alongside OG, this accomplishment serves as a testament to the quality and potential Xepher and his teammates possess.
