Not completely unfounded, but certainly not confirmed. I believe both RTZ and PPD had made statements along the lines of not liking to work with each other/burning bridges somewhat or something, so if PPD had wanted to keep playing then presumably it came down to a vote and RTZ won. Impossible to know for sure without actual evidence though.

Peters brother Alex denied such rumors on reddit iirc, despite ppd and arteezy not getting along in game they were somewhat friends outside of the game, as that was one of the main reasons he brought him back after TI5. I don't think there is any bad blood between the two and I doubt ppd got voted off as I don't think he would remain silent, plus he hangs out a lot with the new team which would be kinda weird if there was mutiny against him imo.

Choosing to play with each other and not PPD is essentially the same as voting him out though.

It's one of those situations where there are many possible viable explanations.

PPD is playing WESG so clearly he's not done being a player.

PPD wasn't a terrible player, but the new position 5 they have is obviously better at it. PPD was really... I mean off the top of my head, I can't remember anything of note that he did in-game, at all. At any given point. Maybe a decent CM or AA ulti here and there? If they can get the draft down without PPD, then there should be a net gain in their ability to compete... if it hadn't been for Fear's departure.

He had a good Earthshaker, and was generally strong on the defensive supports. And Tree, of course.

Mechanically he might not have been the best player around, but he was absolutely famous for being the poorest player in the game and still getting shit done. Which, given EG's extremely greedy play style, is really what the team needed form their 5.
