29-year-old South Korean Kim “Febby” Yong-Min has been a pro in MOBA DOTA 2 (Steam) for 9 years. However, his best time is already 6 years ago. Now he wanted to start again in 2022, but the consumption of THC-containing “gummies”, a variant of hash cookies, ruined his attempt. While it’s legal where he resides in Canada, it’s probably not a good idea to snack on them before an important game.

Who is Feeby?

  • Feeby came to DOTA 2 because his friends talked him into it when he was in school. At first he didn’t like the game at all: It’s an hour-long RPG without the feeling of having achieved anything. But then he got the fever.
  • His pro career peaked in 2016 when he was 23 when he bagged over $340,000 in prize money, finishing 5-6 at The International 2016 (via esportearnings).
  • But that was a long time ago and in recent years the professional career has been significantly less lucrative: in 2021, DOTA 2 was still worth $7,100, in 2022 it was only $6,900 so far. As “Febbydoto” he streams on Twitch, but has only moderate success there.

    This was his approach: Before the new 2023 season, Febby teamed up with 4 players and founded a team: “Arkosh Gaming” – in DOTA 2 it is possible to qualify for professional operation via the “Open Qualifiers”.

    But that’s what a lot of people want and it’s not that easy to get through the qualification, even if you belonged to the extended world class 6 years ago.

    what went wrong After donating $80, Febby decided to snack on THC gummies ahead of the start of a qualifier in North America against team Fart Studios. According to reports on YouTube, he is said to have consumed around 40 mg.

    As seen in a clip on YouTube, Febby couldn’t cope with the THC dose: he seemed confused, exhilarated and nervous: he danced in his gaming chair, giggled and babbled around. Also seemed to annoy his teammates with his constant chatter, yelling and flashes of laughter.

    Febby in particular couldn’t really afford to drift away mentally: he was the captain of his team and is expected to make the announcements. According to reports, he also ignored the ideas of the others for the draft, which visibly annoyed the teammates.

    “Fuck, haven’t taken weed for a long time” – maybe he should have thought about it beforehand.

    How did that turn out? As the website Dotesports writes, the action triggered a series of incidents: the team members were very “upset” by Febby’s behavior. One doubted whether it was right that “the guy making the announcements is on rubber (via youtube)”.

    There was unrest in the team and ultimately they failed in the qualification.

    After the end of the qualifiers, the team members agreed never to see each other again, according to Dotesports.

    Febby wasn’t quite in top form on THC:

    How is this seen? In the comments to the THC clip, people say:

  • Febby used to have a big name, but now it’s just embarrassing. f
  • Giving up your career and high rewards for a $80 donation is not worth it.
  • The clip triggers “Physical Pain”.

    • Drugs of any kind and professional e-sports do not mix:
