NS made a bold statement about the Cloud9 captain, comparing him to the legendary Puppey

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov compared Dmitry "Fishman" Polishchuk to Clement "Puppey" Ivanov, noting that Fishman has a remarkable talent for discovering true gems in the Dota 2 professional scene.

He shared this insight during a Twitch stream.

"Is Fishman some kind of superhuman in this regard? People come to him after being dropped from teams or those who aren't playing anywhere. And they all start performing brilliantly. DM got kicked from OG - he came and *****. No[o]ne hadn’t played professionally for five years, he was written off several times. Still ****. Watson - former carry of B8"

According to NS, Fishman has the ability to turn players who were considered washed up into real stars of the professional Dota 2 scene. He compared him to Puppey, pointing out that while Puppey has a line of talented players wanting to join his team, Fishman helps players fully realize their potential.

The statistics from The International 2024 support NS's comments, as three Cloud9 players have made it into the top five for KDA at TI13, indicating excellent form.

Previously, Fishman unexpectedly received a ban right in the middle of The International 2024.
