The captain of BetBoom Team apologized to fans, promising not to play Pudge

Vitaly “Save-” Melnik apologized to fans for playing Pudge in the match against Team Falcons in the group stage of FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2.

The BetBoom Team captain made the statement on YouTube.

“This is an appeal to the fans. I apologize for picking Pudge. You probably shouldn't expect me to pick Pudge ever again.”

As per Vitaly “Save-” Melnik's statement, the esports player will try not to use the hero in official matches anymore. However, the captain of BetBoom Team noted that the team did not plan to advance to the playoffs early, wanting to play all the matches of the group stage in order to better prepare for the final stage.

“In fact, our strategy was to finish the Swiss stage with a 3:2 record, because the more games we play before the playoffs, the better. That's why I took Pudge, just in case. It didn't work out.”

Let us remind you that the BetBoom Team players discussed the prospect of disbanding the Dota 2 roster in case of defeat by PARIVISION in the group stage of FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2.
