Nix: "There is a theory that Yatoro loves the Chinese too much"

Virtus.pro player Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev commented on the theory about the player of Team Spirit Yaroslav "Yatoro" Naidenov, which was shared by the coach of the Natus Vincere team, Andrey "Nix" Lepko.

In early August, Nix shared an opinion on the Reddit forum that Yatoro could lose the map to PSG.LGD in the playoff match of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 to make his team play against the Chinese team again in the grand final.

In a match against LGD, Yatoro broke his hands on the keyboard, his team lost the series 0:2, and Team Spirit was relegated to the lower bracket.

Team VP’s carry player RAMZES666 believes that Yatoro could have done it, but he did not play poorly in the game against PSG.LGD, so this theory is implausible.

"It is possible, of course,", - Kuknarev said. - "But do you think he would play so badly against PSG in the loser bracket, giving them 12 kills? It seems to me that it would be possible to play even worse on purpose."

In the PGL Arlington Major 2022, Team Spirit took 5th place, losing to Tundra Esports in the lower bracket match.
