Nine stunned everyone with a controversial statement about OG

Leon "Nine" Kirilin, OG player, predicts that OG will not finish last at BLAST Slam 1, but hinted that the team doesn't have many chances of winning the tournament.

This statement was made in a new video posted on the club's YouTube channel.’

"I think we won't finish last, which is obviously good. In my opinion, this is the first tournament where we can really show ourselves. My expectations remain open because the team is still at the beginning of its journey. I think this bootcamp has been good, but our coach hasn't been with us from the very start"

Despite Nine having optimistic expectations for the tournament, he still believes that the team is in the early stages of their journey and they haven't played together enough yet.

"We came to the tournament without having played together as a full five. In the next few days, we'll play in some online tournaments, which will be good practice for us. After that, we'll really be able to 'warm up' and start moving forward. We've begun looking for our path and building an atmosphere where we can perform. That's my goal"

Nine emphasized that the previous tournament was good practice for the team and now they are working more cohesively, so he expects that at BLAST Slam 1, they will show significantly better results than at 1win Series Dota 2 Fall, where they finished last.

Earlier, it was reported that Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov returned to Dota 2 after several months.
