Dota 2 community mourns as beloved caster dies aged 26 YouTube: DotaBoyzThe Dota 2 esports community has been rocked by the tragic death of Chinese caster Mi \u2018Yammers\u2019 Hongwei at the age of 26. The community learned of Yammers\u2019 death after he posted a suicide note on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. He gave a detailed account of the abuse he suffered for several years and revealed that he had been battling depression since his father\u2019s death, in 2019. The news of his passing has left the Dota 2 community in shock. Yammers was regarded as one of the best Chinese casters in the scene, with an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9 that included three The International appearances (2019, 2021 and 2022). At TI 9 and TI 11, he got his own chat wheel audio line: \u201c\u518d\u89c1\u4e86\u5b9d\u8d1d\u513f!\u201d, which translates to \u201cGoodbye, Baby!\u201d. On the official Dota 2 subreddit, several users expressed sadness and heartbreak over Yammers\u2019 death. Some even called on Valve and Perfect World to find a way to pay tribute to the former caster. The upcoming TI event in Seattle would be a good chance to do so after he was part of the official Chinese broadcast for the event\u2019s previous three iterations.
