A look at Ninjaboogie banned Aka Michael Ross On Twitter: Ninjaboogie, a DOTA 2 player, claims on Twitter that Team SMG ‘kicked’ him out because his mother “was in her final days.”
Ninjaboogie, also known as Michael Ross is a seasoned competitor who has competed in numerous Major and TI tournaments. The Filipino player joined Team SMG in January 2021 but only lasted three months.
He rejoined the team in February 2022 and competed in the Dota Pro Circuit’s SEA Tour 2.
Team SMG did well, but not good enough to secure a place in the Stockholm Major and no DPC points. According to sources, Team SMG decided to replace Ninjaboogie again the following season.

Ninjaboogie has a bunch of tweets on the present situation with Team SMG on his Twitter account.
As per sources, Ninjaboogie severs ties with Team SMG once more, but this time he reveals the tumultuous circumstances around the kick.
Further explanation. I was supposed to fly back and join the team on the 14th. My mom had a stroke on the evening of 12th and was admitted. I asked if i could have my flight moved as bootcamp starts on the 20th. Midone gave me a call on the 14th asking my decision.

Team SMG’s position 5 player, Michael “Ninjaboogie” Ross Jr., has left the Dota 2 competitive scene.
Likewise, he has previously worked with the organization on a part-time basis. This time, though, it appears as if the breakdown will be acrimonious. Ninjaboogie alleges he was expelled from Team SMG for a heinous reason.
Why Is Ninjaboogie Fired?
After only three months together, Team SMG has parted ways with hard support player Michael “Ninjaboogie” Ross Jr.
In a statement released today, the Southeast Asian company, which is presently competing in Division I of the Dota Pro Circuit 2021/2022, hailed the 30-year-old for his “enthusiasm, hard work, and commitment.”
Kicked because my mom was on her last days and they assumed it would affect my performance. I already knew for some time that this day will come. Since she had stage 4 cancer. She passed away on monday. Imagine being fired from a job because you are about to lose a loved one.

However, in direct response to the tweet, the Flipino-American athlete requested that the organization be more forthright.
Tell the public the real cause for his dismissal, the support player responded. He was booted since his mother “was in her last days,” according to the athlete.
Ninjaboogie Age: Did His Mother Die?
The squad booted him because they feared his mother’s death would influence his performance, as per Ninjaboogie, 30 years of age. His mother, who perished on Monday, had phase four cancer, so he had anticipated “this day would come” for a long time.
Similarly, Ninjaboogie gained a lot of encouragement from Dota 2 professionals and talent, who sympathized with him and the vexing position.
He reportedly wanted to rearrange his travel in order to spend more time with his family. However, the squad chose to continue without him after alerting the team leader MidOne of his choice.
