The team&#8217;s delight at performing so well in their debut outing at The International has not been dampened in the least by the defeat. <\/p>\n<p>Seleri&#8217;s declaration gave the impression that the animal sanctuary could be a personal passion project for the support player, although he did not provide any facts about the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will be a long-term project that I will share more about it in the future,&#8221; he tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Seleri is one of the very few <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/dota-2\/\" title=\"Dota 2 betting sites\">Dota 2 esports<\/a> professionals that have committed to a vegan diet. In addition to him, OG no.4 player Tommy &#8220;Taiga&#8221; Le conforms to the same nutritional philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>With more than USD $17 million in the prize pool for TI11, GG&#8217;s ninth-place finish earned them more than $340,000. It is not currently known how much of this cash will be going to Seleri. If the players were to split their earnings evenly among each other, Seleri&#8217;s take-home pay would be something in the range of $69,000 before accounting for taxes and other associated costs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks to my teammates for this tournament. I have spent more time with them this year than with my \u2018real\u2019 family,&#8221; Seleri said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I consider every one of them one of my best friends and I hope this is not the end for us!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melchior &#8220;Seleri&#8221; Hillenkamp, captain of the Gaimin Gladiators Dota 2 team, has promised that he will give all of his earnings from The International tournament to an animal sanctuary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":22125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17,4,2401,18],"class_list":["post-25038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-dota-2","tag-featured","tag-gaimin-gladiators","tag-the-international"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25038"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25041,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25038\/revisions\/25041"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
