Maelstorm asked to support Kiritych because of threats against the cyber athlete

Vladimir ‘Maelstorm’ Kuzminov stated that he considers the situation with personal threats against Ilya ‘Kiritych~’ Ulyanov and his loved ones unacceptable. The commentator also urged his fans to support Virtus.pro carry because of the situation.

The corresponding opinion the famous caster shared with the subscribers of his personal Telegram channel.

‘I'm not sure that everyone will agree with me, but I really wish there would be more adequate people.

In my opinion, only a complete cretin will write in a player's personal account some kind of hate. I can't understand that. I can understand when words of admiration are written in a private message. If the hate is written ‘for fun’, it is probably a little different, but only if you look at the situation ‘from above’, because from the player's point of view to understand who writes for fun and who is not - unrealistic. About those who promise to do something or kill someone (I had one of them, by the way) - there is no word for it.

And not just to write a thought provoking text, but somehow, so to speak, to add weight to the other scale, purely for fun. Let's go to Kiritich's group and write under his flipper post. ‘Ilya, you are an unreal talent!’

Fans heeded Vladimir ‘Maelstorm’ Kuzminov's call, leaving several hundred supportive comments under the cyber athlete's statement.

Virtus.pro failed to achieve any significant victories this season, and after their 17th - 18th place finish at the Riyadh Masters 2024, the team announced significant changes, promising to present the final roster after The International 2024, when a global reshuffle of teams will take place. Ilya ‘Kiritych~’ Ulyanov is currently playing for Virtus.pro at the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational in China.

Recall that earlier Ilya ‘Kiritych~’ Ulyanov shocked fans by saying that his family received threats.
