Streamer Timur “Ahilles” Kulmukhambetov spoke out on his Telegram channel about the hate directed at offlaner Jonáš “SabeRLight-” Volék. He called the Czech player one of the most successful Dota players and compared him to a drunk Rock Lee from the anime “Naruto.”

We’re misjudging SabeRLight.
Sabik is one of the most successful Dota players in history.
He has $800K in prize money. Add his salary over the years to that, and it easily comes to $2.5 million over his career.
Throw in another $500K for that “little goblin” line, and our man has $3 million.
Why is there so much criticism and hate directed at him?
1. Most Dota players hide their true selves in public or in the media. He, on the other hand, goes to the other extreme.
He constantly pushes RAGEBAIT. That’s why people react to him the way they do.
2. He’s not an S-tier or even an A-tier offlaner.
He’s a classic hard worker and grind from the B tier.
Thanks to his high rating, connections, and the market’s demand for a POS 3, he remains relevant to this day.
We, on the other hand, see Rock Lee from Naruto as a COOL role model.
A guy who, despite having no talent or intelligence, reaches great heights. (Okay, Rock Lee didn’t actually achieve anything great, but you get my point.)
It’s just that Saberlight is a drunk version of Rock Lee who drives everyone crazy with his behavior.
I have nothing but respect for his unyielding will to keep moving forward and continue competing against the “gods” of Dota.
Armed with nothing but a wooden stick against Yataro’s machine gun.
Earlier, SabeRLight recorded a video in which he spoke emotionally about the teams that refuse to invite him: “Screw you all! I’m going to destroy you! You have no idea how badly I’m going to crush you at the next tournament! My blood is literally boiling.”
