ct0m commented on his departure from WW TEAM

Esports player Artem “ct0m” Maximov posted on his personal Telegram channel, where he spoke about his departure from WW TEAM and his conflict with his former teammates.

The quote is reproduced with the source’s spelling and punctuation intact

Okay, I guess this has gone too far.
1. I left without any conflicts (well, at least that’s what I wanted); my mistake in all this was that I didn’t actually tell the guys about leaving, but at the time I did it, I thought it was the right decision.
2. I left of my own accord; I wanted to try something new for myself and build a different roster (perhaps because there weren’t any options at the time—now there’s an option to build a roster))
3. Vanya said he tried to stop me from drinking as a friend—yes, that happened—but only in the context of “I don’t want you to drink; you’re a PLAYER on my team,” and so on. If you consider that normal, then okay
. 4. *** [Criticisms] of my stats: my mistake was hitting 1.40 at one point, which is practically impossible in my roles. I agree—I set the bar too high. As soon as teams started preparing for us, playing became much harder, I started watching demos, and as you can see, well, it’s not really working out (and for the future, a 1+ rating in these positions is already very good—you can ask pro players about it)
5. I just reached my limit and couldn’t see any future wins—a mental slump (my own)
. 6. The audience also piled on because of Vanya’s comments about status and alcohol
. 7. I can choose for myself how and where to relax; I don’t see any problem with that.
THAT’S IT.
Please don’t post any negative comments about any of the guys—you can keep *** [blaming] me, but leave the guys alone.
I gave 2–2.5 years to this team, and decided to leave peacefully, but everyone’s turning this into some kind of conflict.
It’s up to you
—that’s ALL. I won’t bring this up again. Thanks to everyone for the kind words—and to those who left negative comments, I hope your opinion changes just a little.
