NS named the main culprit in Team Spirit's elimination from The International 2025

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov pointed to Alexander “rue” Filin's poor preparation, noting that the player was inactive in the elimination match between Team Falcons and Team Spirit at The International 2025.

The streamer made this statement on Twitch.

“Rue just plays badly. He doesn't do anything. But he doesn't contribute anything at all. All these attacks that come from Team Falcons, none of them were shown.”

According to Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, Alexander ‘rue’ Filin plays the same heroes that Edgar “9Class” Naltakyan actively uses. However, unlike the PARIVISION player, Team Spirit's support is of little use to his team during matches.

"Just compare: his hero is similar to the characters played by 9Class — all kinds of Slark, Monkey King. Well, from a reconnaissance point of view. Where is Bounty Hunter all this time? Why doesn't he give the team space with his location on the map?"

Recall that earlier Oliver “Skiter” Lepko commented on the victory over Team Spirit, expressing regret over the opponents' elimination from The International 2025.
