ILTW stated about serious health problems due to playing Dota 2

Igor “iLTW” Filatov stated that after 20 consecutive games played in matchmaking Dota 2, the player's health deteriorated greatly and developed unwarranted anxiety.

The former pro player shared the relevant story with viewers of his personal Twitch broadcast.

“I played Dota non-stop all day and went completely insane. I went to bed and I had anxiety because I had lost 20 games in a row. I felt unrealistically bad, guys, unrealistically bad.”

Many professional players complain about the negative effects of playing Dota 2 for long periods of time on mental health. Such statements were repeatedly made by famous streamer Alexander “Nix” Levin. Also Leon “Nine” Kirilin recently told how he developed severe depression due to the inability to play Dota 2 after a computer breakdown. Nevertheless, this situation then motivated the player to start a career in cybersport.

Recall that after Igor “iLTW” Filatov's performance at BetBoom Streamers Battle 7, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov stated that the former pro player can still join the Tier-1 team.
