Former OG Coach Weighs In on the Reasons Behind 33’s Struggles

Mikhail “Misha” Agatov believes that the reason for Neta “33” Shapira’s decline in performance lies in disagreements with his teammates.

The former OG coach shared this opinion on YouTube.

“He just went through some kind of unreal tilt. Once a genius, inventive, and one of the strongest players on the planet—a very important player, I’d say a key player, for two teams that won The International—he simply faded away in the midst of it all, right within his own team.

As I see it, 33 isn’t the kind of person who lacks discipline. Not at all. Or a poor attitude toward the game… Perhaps the atmosphere within the team simply affects him that way. Perhaps he himself is a challenging person to work with—especially in a situation like this. After all, it wasn’t for no reason that he left Team Liquid after winning The International with them. Things like that don’t just happen. It wasn’t for no reason that Saksa left him—because it became difficult to work with 33.”

According to Mikhail “Misha” Agatov, he does not believe that Neta “33” Shapira has issues with personal discipline or his attitude toward the game. Nevertheless, the former OG coach finds it strange that the esports player left Team Liquid after winning TI, only to subsequently fall out with Saksa. Misha believes that the esports player found it difficult to build relationships with his teammates, which led to a decline in his gameplay.

As a reminder, Martin “Saksa” Sazdov previously spoke out about the reasons behind his disagreements with Netta “33” Shapira.
