In 2021, iLTW turned down a move to OG’s Dota 2 team in favor of Nigma Galaxy—a response to KuroKy’s comments

He wrote that my biggest mistake—or rather, his biggest mistake—was that they kept me on the team. But guys, I can tell you all about it. I can recount everything perfectly, exactly as it was back then. I can tell you exactly how it was—I remember that time very well, believe me. I remember everything. <…> I even remember the games we played. We played in official matches. It was just *** [horrible].

I got a call from OG after the qualifiers for The International [The International 2021]. We didn’t make it through <…>, and Misha texted me, saying, “Go to OG instead of Yuragi.” And you know what? I texted him back, “No.” I told him I believed in Nigma, I believed in my team. Although deep down I knew the team was already dead, *** [damn], because what GH was doing with MinD_ContRoL <…> was just *** [horrible], just a total *** [nightmare]. I played really well on that team, guys—you know, I played really well.

And now I see that KuroKy is writing this. <…> It upsets me, you know, it really upsets me. Yeah, after COVID-19 hit—remember, COVID-19 hit—my skill level *** [horrible] took a massive nosedive. Back then I became total cannon fodder, dropping straight to rank 1,000. But up until that point, guys, believe me, I, *** [damn], was definitely a very good player. Then I lost my rhythm.
