NS named the worst team at The International 2024 that got into the tournament undeservedly

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov believes that Talon Esports should not have made it to The International 2024. The streamer believes that the team plays at the level of dash-2 lineup, and also with a high probability would have lost even to the participants of BetBoom Streamers Battle.

The streamer shared his respective opinion in a private Twitch broadcast.

“How did Talon even get into the tournament? Who let them into The International? It's like some dash 2 stack.

At BetBoom Streamers Battle they would have lost to Ilyukha Televizor or Sasha and Egor, most likely.

Tir-322 stack. They don't play well individually. It's like Southeast Asia has always been characterized by teams not being very good at global strategies and decision making.

But individual play has never been a problem. Until this day.”

Prior to the playoffs, Talon Esports had one of their worst performances of the tournament, winning only one map in a match against Tundra Esports that ended in a tie. After losing to Xtreme Gaming in the match for a playoff spot, the team got to the lower grid, where they play the starting series against BetBoom Team, losing the first map so far.

Recall that earlier Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov spoke about possible replacements in Team Spirit after The International 2024.
