Igor "ILTW" Filatov, who left the Dota 2 pro scene three years ago, suddenly returned to esports and will play as a stand-in for Runa Team.

This was reported in the team's official announcement on Telegram.

"ILYUKHA TV + REIBL - TEMPORARY REPLACEMENTS AT SBER TOURNAMENT"

It is reported that ILTW will play for Runa Team as a stand-in and only temporarily. This will happen at Sber Tournament 2025, where they will compete for a prize pool of 50 thousand dollars.

It is noteworthy that this will be the first tournament for the esportsman since 2022, when he played for Nigma Galaxy.

ILTW has not yet made any statements on whether this will be a one-time event or whether he will fully return to the Dota 2 pro scene as a pro player.

Let us recall that earlier the PARIVISION player lost his temper and publicly accused Valve of losing the tournament.
