Interestingly, it happened right during the Riyadh Masters 2025, but the player himself did not comment on his deed. It is not known what exactly is the reason for such a decision: perhaps Nightfall wanted to respond to criticism from fans or just joked.

It is also possible that this was a reaction to a strange restriction, which he learned about at the tournament. Earlier Grigorenko said that the players were not warned about the dress code requirements at EWC 2025, which could even get him fined or not allowed to participate in the match.
