23 New Players Set to Make Their Debut at The International 2019
With The International 2019 just around the corner, broadcaster Paul “Redeye” Chaloner revealed that out of the 90 players attending the event, 23 of them will be making their debut at TI.
These 23 rookies will be representing 11 of the 18 rosters, including the entire Infamous roster and most of both Alliance and Natus Vincere.
Here is the complete list of players who will be making their first appearance at TI and the teams they play for:
- Alliance: Boxi, iNSaNiA, miCKe, and Taiga
- Chaos Esports Club: vtFαded
- Infamous: Chris Luck, K1, Scofield, StingeR, and Wisper
- Fnatic: Jabz
- Keen Gaming: dark and Zhai “一” Jingkai
- Mineski: Nikobaby
- Na’Vi: Blizzy, Crystallize, MagicaL, and Zayac
- Royal Never Give Up: Flyby and Setsu
- Team Secret: Nisha
- TNC Predator: Gabbi

Just qualifying for The International is a remarkable achievement for these young players, and among them, there are several other firsts happening. In particular, Adrian “Wisper” Dobles from Infamous will become the first Bolivian player to compete in The International.
This new generation of players spans a wide range of ages, from 18-year-old Hector “K1” Rodriguez of Infamous to 25-year-old Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi from Alliance. As the older stars start to exit the highest level of competition, these new players will step up to fill their shoes.
Only the team captains of Team Liquid and Secret, Kuro “KuroKy” Takhasomi and Clement “Puppey” Ivanov, have attended every single International since its inception in 2011.
The International 2019 kicks off on August 15, with all 18 teams battling it out for a chance to make history and win a prize pool of over $30 million.
