The legendary Nine changed his nickname in honor of the player Palianytsia, who took down OG

Leon "Nine" Kirilin, who plays for OG, changed his Dota 2 nickname in honor of Mikhail "Fortniteman" Pilipenko, the offlaner for Palianytsia.

Fans on Reddit immediately noticed this change.

This happened after Palianytsia completely crushed OG during the DreamLeague Season 24 qualifiers. It's likely that Nine was impressed by the young player's performance and decided to pay tribute, acknowledging that he delivered an exceptional level of gameplay.
