Illidan explained why Virtus.pro's lineup with Daxak is doomed to failure

Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev believes that Virtus.pro with Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin will not be successful in the long run due to the player's inability to build long-term relationships with his teammates.

The Team Spirit streamer made this statement on Twitch.

“Any thoughts on Virtus.pro, who came to Riyadh yesterday? Yes, I think any team with Daxak is a time bomb. I don't think he's capable of working with people over the long term. His manner of doing business is terrible. He can't build any long-term relationships. His manner of doing business is terrible.”

The Virtus.pro lineup with Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin was able to secure a slot in the regional qualifiers for the Riyadh Masters 2025 by playing in the MESWA qualifiers. Only four teams participated in the closed qualifiers, including Nigma Galaxy and Team Secret. Virtus.pro also passed the open stage of the qualifiers for The International 2025, securing a slot in the closed stage of the qualifiers.

Earlier, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko spoke about a quarrel with Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin, because of which he did not want to invite the player to join PARIVISION.
