NS Names the Top Favorites for ESL One Birmingham

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov believes that Tundra Esports will be able to win at the ESL One Birmingham 2026 Dota 2 tournament following Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko's return to the team.

The streamer shared this opinion on Twitch.

"Tundra should win this tournament because Pure is back. I think this should give them a bit of a morale boost. At PGL Wallachia 7, I had the feeling that Bzm was protesting playing with Parker with his whole demeanor.

Parker is the kind of guy who messes up every other time. Pure is basically the same, but he messes up a little more effectively. He does it a little better.”

According to Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko’s return to the team will not only have a positive impact on Tundra Esports’ gameplay but will also boost the squad’s morale. The content creator believes that at PGL Wallachia Season 7, Bozhidar “bzm” Bogdanov was clearly unhappy with playing alongside David “Parker” Flores, who took on the carry role as a stand-in.

As a reminder, earlier Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov compared the play of David “Parker” Flores and Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko at Tundra Esports.
