NS stated that Satanic's performance declined after The International, citing the reason

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov noted a decline in Alan “Satanic” Galliamov's preparation after The International 2025. The content creator believes that this is due to the young age of the esports player.

The streamer made this statement on Twitch.

"Satanic has lost something after The International. He's kind of slumped. I don't know why. Well, there could be a lot of reasons. How old is Satanic? Eleven? Ten? Eight? Seven? Exactly, at that age, just yesterday you were watching Three Cats and Hop-Hop the Owl, who jumps around and so on, and then you win one tournament, then another. You have a salary of, I don't know, $30,000. I don't know what the salary is, but I think it's something in that range. You have prizes, money, fame, popularity. And now you can go down a slightly different path. Instead of “Hop Hop Owl,” you start watching “Naruto,” “Hurricane Chronicles,” and then “Boruto.”

Acording to Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, the life of an esports player undergoes significant changes when he transforms from an ordinary player into an esports star, because the high level of income opens up many oportunities that distract from development in Dota 2.

"Life changes a lot when you go from being just a bedroom gamer to a star with a ton of money and fame. Suddenly you have friends and acquaintances from everywhere, everyone wants to hang out with you, and now you have the opportunity to go to hookah bars, and not just hookah bars, but this and that and the fifth and tenth. And instead of playing Dota all day and night, you're suddenly at some party. And then, bang, suddenly you're playing worse than before.
