NS made a bold statement about returning to the Dota 2 pro scene

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov, streamer and former esports player, stated that he could return to the Dota 2 pro scene, but he lacks the desire to dedicate countless hours to the game and is currently focused on other pursuits.

He shared this during a Twitch broadcast.

"Thinking in 'what ifs' is absolute ****. There are a million conditions. I don’t want to play, I have no desire. If I somehow force myself, I’d be sick of it within a day. What’s the point? Anyone could climb their rank if they wanted to. But you need to actually want it. I have no desire. I used to play professionally and played well, even very well. I was completely satisfied back then, but now I’m doing other things. I can’t do it anymore because I gave it up long ago"

NS admitted that anyone could increase their rank to compete on the pro scene, but it requires a strong will. According to him, he has distanced himself from Dota 2 for a long time and has no interest in returning, even though he acknowledged playing well and enjoying it during his career.

Now, NS is focused on other endeavors, likely referring to his streaming career, and he has no plans to become an esports player again.

Previously, NS highlighted one of the major issues in Dota 2 that Valve has yet to address.
