Eiritel explained what happened with 33 at The International 2025

Net “33” Shapira, captain of Tundra Esports, may have had problems in his personal life, which forced him to put Dota 2 on the back burner. This could explain his decline in form at The International 2025.

This was revealed by Daria “Eiritel” Morozova, a Dota 2 commentator, during a broadcast on Twitch.

"33 also allegedly slumped in the last few months of the season. And I firmly believe that this didn't just happen out of the blue, but that it's related to something. That is, something **** happened in his life. Because of this, he wasn't able to focus on Dota as much. I can only guess about this, I have no idea what's really going on. It's just that 33's level of play has dropped so sharply compared to this season, where he's been dominating everything for a year and a half and had no rivals"

Eiritel noted that she doesn't have any details about the two-time world champion's life, but she is convinced that something happened that took his focus away from Dota 2. She emphasized that this is the only way to explain why 33 hasn't been playing his best game for the last few months of the season, even though he previously had no competitors on the pro scene.

33 himself did not comment on this statement, but many fans noticed that the player was no longer performing at his prime level. Nevertheless, it was he who popularized the Helm of the Dominator meta at TI14.
