Korb3n explained why Nightfall left Tundra Esports

Dmitry ‘Korb3n’ Belov, manager at Team Spirit, discloses that Egor ‘Nightfall’ Grigorenko is currently in a journey of finding the best team primarily describing the reason player took flight from Tundra Esports. He further explains that Nightfall will only be able to succeed if he is provided with a completely different roster.

While streaming on Twitch, he moderated this view towards the end of the stream.

“I think Nightfall hasn’t found the ideal team for himself yet. What he achieved at Virtus.pro… at that time, Spirit was simply much better. You may say that Nightfall is a Team Leader, commander or captain. Why he and Tundra separated, he says, it was not because of his game level. Maybe he still has not been able to completely believe anyone during his whole career”.

Korb3n clarified that the carry was not changed for performance reasons only as he indicated that the feelings of trust had stemmed from Nightfall who is primarily known as a leader, a shot caller, and a commander for the entire team.

"I doubt he was looking to lead the team. If he were looking to lead and not be a role player, then 33 would have made the decision to make the changes in Tundra." This is all my assertion. Most likely, they had differing visions of the game, which led to problems. If Egor gets a good team where he is the only leader and everyone else plays around him, then it may work out"

He proceeded to say that Nightfall would not have been traded for Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov if he was only wanted for role playing. Though, the carry may have had an urge to play a leadership role and dictate the team’s game strategies. To be however, Korb3n was keen to clarify he does not have insider insights and he is just theorizing that was the issue.

What is interesting about this is Korb3n had also discussed the difficulties facing OG and in what ways, the team can be rescued.
