NS explained why he sees no point in the new Azure Ray and Vici Gaming rosters

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov noted that there are no promising new players in the new Azure Ray and Vici Gaming lineups.

The streamer shared his opinion on Telegram.

“The Chinese have assembled two lineups, obviously to try to break into Riyadh and The International. As always, the fact that there is not a single new player among the 10 players is striking. No, really, not a single one, guys, on average they've all been on the scene for 10 years, in short, it's the same faces, just in profile. There is no hope (and there never was).”

According to Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, the organizations signed new rosters for the qualifiers for The International 2025 and Riyadh Masters 2025, but they only assembled veterans of the regional pro scene, who were simply shuffled around, which is why the streamer does not expect serious results from these teams.

It is worth noting that the new Vici Gaming roster corresponds to the organization's roster at The International 2019, with the exception of one player. At that time, the team entered the top 6.

Recall that earlier, Vici Gaming announced a new Dota 2 roster two years after the previous roster was disbanded.
