Afoninje reacted harshly to the elimination from ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 and spoke out about 9Pandas

Andrey "Afoninje" Afonin, who played for 9 Pandas, admitted that the team did indeed show a disappointing result and was eliminated from ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 without any chances.

He posted a corresponding video statement on his Telegram.

"Well, guys, we su***d the tournament, basically. Without any chances at all. No, there seemed to be chances, and seemed like there weren't. When were there chances at all and when weren't there? It's actually frustrating. I'm walking around rainy Malaysia now, Kuala Lumpur. Just went out for a walk, finally some rain, cool. Now we are officially cyber tourists, it turns out, we will rest"

He hinted that 9 Pandas had a chance to win, but in essence, the players did not take advantage of them at the tournament. Recall that earlier he mentioned that he might leave the team if 9 Pandas finishes last at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.
