Ukrainians punish their own people for performing with Russians — what happens in eSports
Esports will no longer be the same, like the rest of the world.
For some time eSports successfully managed to abstract from the events in the world. But as gaming competition expanded far beyond a small niche, and sports and government officials turned their attention to the industry, this line began to gradually dissolve.
Now in eSports, the same thing is happening as in big sports. Russians are being harassed in every possible way, and esports clubs from Russia are forced to change their registration, leaving for Serbia, Armenia and other nearby countries in order to be able to compete in championships.
Once upon a time, Russia actively followed the success of NAVI in the esports arena. Once upon a time, esports commentators from Ukraine commented on all the major championships in Russian. Now there is nothing left of this world. If earlier Ukrainian and Russian e-sportsmen successfully won tournaments together, in the same team, now they want to deprive them of this as well.
New NAVI roster.
It would seem, what do teenagers playing Dota 2 and CS:GO have to do with the situation in the world? Naturally, none. They are just kids trying to live a normal life. So what do people expect from them? That they will insult, humiliate and beat each other? Their actions have practically no meaning and effect in the overall picture of the world. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks so.
The Ukrainian eSports Federation punished Ukrainian cybersportsmen for playing with the Russians on the same team
Officials from the Ukrainian Esports Federation (UESF) punished their own Ukrainian players, Ilya Yatoro Mulyarchuk and Miroslav Mira Kolpakov, for playing on the same team with the Russians. Moreover, this punishment followed immediately after the guys won the Dota 2 tournament in Riyadh, where they received $5 million in prize money. The question is, why now, and not earlier? Esports fans consider this decision to be nothing more than window dressing.
Players, fans and fans of Team Spirit simply do not understand why the guys are punished exactly when they qualified for The International-2023. When they, on the contrary, need support and understanding.
The players are going to be banned from participating in local Ukrainian tournaments and playing for the national team. Both Yatoro and Mira are unlikely to lose anything from this, but the very fact of what happened is unpleasant.
NAVI completely got rid of the Russians in its roster and for the first time in its history did not reach the playoffs of IEM Cologne-2023
Even earlier, the Ukrainian eSports organization Natus Vincere decided to take a step that, apparently, had been working on for a long time. She just took and removed all Russian cybersportsmen from her Counter-Strike roster.
Including both captain electronic and club veteran Perfecto, who made this club famous. After the departure of Russian players with a prefix, you will probably have to say goodbye. Yes, replacements for the departed Russians were found rather quickly, but it is impossible to say that they turned out to be of equal value.
Players from Europe came 25-year-old captain from Finland Aleksi Aleksib Virolainen, 23-year-old player from Romania Ivan iM Mihai and 23-year-old player from Lithuania Giustinas jL Lekavicius. However, they have not been able to prove themselves as Perfecto and electronic so far, for the first time in the history of the club they did not get into the playoffs of IEM Cologne-2023 and flew out of the top ten of the world ranking. Now NAVI is at a record low level for itself, having settled down in this rating as much as 16th place. This is an indicator of the average, but not a top club.
The Ukrainian club decided to sacrifice its status in order to remove all Russian players who have been earning this NAVI status for many years. We are sure that if there weren’t this whole situation in the world, the organization’s management would not even think about making any substitutions, let alone removing its leading players. And now you have to start everything from scratch.
While new players play, while they set up communication, while they decide on a map pool and get used to each other, months or even years can pass a lot of time. And it is absolutely not a fact that when this happens, they will be able to achieve the results that were before them.
Photos of Dot Esports
Still, the composition of the strongest Ukrainian and Russian players looked harmonious. The people were selected so that they could not only get along with the complex character of Simple, but were also morally strong and stable. You can’t say the same about new players, guys get lost and are afraid to make mistakes.
The largest esports studio in Eastern Europe has stopped commenting on games in Russian since the spring of 2023
And if we go back to the beginning of the year, then in April the largest esports studio in Eastern Europe, Maincast, simply stopped covering any tournaments in Russian. And if you look at who is one of the creators of this studio, then this decision no longer seems illogical.
Vitaliy v1lat Volochay, one of the most famous and authoritative Ukrainian commentators on Dota 2, who made a name for himself largely thanks to the Russian-speaking audience of game fans, turned away sharply from those who speak and even think in Russian. Almost every statement of the creator of this studio towards the Russian-speaking audience is based on obscenities and insults.

In fact, for four months Maincast has been covering majors and other major CS:GO and Dota 2 events exclusively in Ukrainian. The studio has lost a decent audience, which is quite natural.
