Sheever shares her inspirational story

Sheever shares her inspirational story
posted by Olucaron,
In a video segment aired after the series between VGJ.Storm and Winstrike, host and caster Jorien “Sheever” van der Heijden shared the story behind her battle with breast cancer, and what the journey has been like in the year and a half since her diagnosis.



With her winning personality, incredible knowledge of the game and professionalism, Sheever is one of the most beloved talents in the Dota 2 scene. She’s been an almost ever-present at major events going as far back as The International 2012, and is well-known as the host of DreamLeague.

Naturally, the diagnosis came as a shock. In the video, Kaci follows Sheever as she gives us an insight into her state of mind and how she has dealt with the illness since. It also speaks to her family, friends and partner, caster ODPixel, for their perspectives.

It’s an emotional ride and difficult to watch, but it highlights just how much of an inspiration Sheever is and has been to many as she continues her fight. It also shows how much of a family the Dota 2 community is, as shown by the final part of the segment — live from the Rogers Arena with Sheever surrounded by many of the talent team for support.


We sincerely thank Sheever for sharing her story, for inspiring us all, and wish her all the best as she continues her journey back to full health!
